Access to path "\\<sharepoint path>\excel.xlsx is denied"

[benneo]

Hello, In my power BI Report server, when i tried to enter my credentials for my data source, it said that Access to path "\\<sharepoint path>\excel.xlsx is denied". I tried to use the same credentials on my other PC to check whether i am able to access that excel file locally and it was granted. Is there anything that i missed out? Access has already been granted to that credentials.

==Details==

Type: File

Connection String: \\<sharepoint path>\excel.xlsx

Authentication Type: Windows Authentication

Hi @benneo ,

According to your description, your data source should be under the local shared folder, please try to see if you could access the data source on the machine where the report server is installed.
