Can´t connect to custom connector

Hey everyone, 

 

I am trying to fix an issue which occured a couple of days ago. I am using a network drive (custom connerctor) with some friends in order to have all the data available for everyone. I work and develop the reports in PBI Desktop and I have full access to the network drive.

Currently I am working on a Test Sales Dashboard and on this network drive there a couple of Excel-Files the rest is in a database for which I just use SQL Queries. 

My problem now is that somehow the connection parameters are messed up and I get the error "DataSource Error. Could not find parts of path..." When changing back the source files and the parameters it is still not working. It only works with my local files and I don´t really know how to change it.

Please help me 😄

 

Cheers!
