Reading local files in custom connector development in VS Code.
Hey guys,
I'm starting to develop a custom connector for PowerBI using the Powerquery SDK in VS Code, and I'm having difficulty configuring authentication that allows me to read local files (on my "C:\example.xxx" for example).
Authentication using the method indicated in the documentation (Anonymous) does not work. I need to change the specification in the section below, right?
MyConnector = [
Authentication = [
// Key = [],
// UsernamePassword = [],
// Windows = [],
Anonymous = []
]
];
Thanks!!

Think ahead to when you deploy the custom connector to your gateways. These gateways will have no idea how to connect to your C: drive (nor do they have any business doing so).
Place your files on a OneDrive or other cloud file share.
