Hi everyone,
there is a way to obtain a scheduled refresh with a GoogleDrive o DropBox folder source in wich i have cvs files?
I have create a Dropbox folder source but now i'm not able to refresh it automatically when i have publish.
There is a way to do it with GoogleDrive?
Or the only way is to buy a Office365 license with Sharepoint/OneDrive?
Thank you for your answer

Hi, Anonymous
It is recommended that you store the csv. file on Onedrive. Importing files from OneDrive or SharePoint Online into the Power BI service is a great way to make sure your work in Power BI Desktop stays in sync with the Power BI service.
When you store a Power BI Desktop file on OneDrive or SharePoint Online, any data you’ve loaded into your file’s model is imported into the dataset. Any reports you’ve created from the file are loaded into Reports in the Power BI service. Let's say you make changes to your file on OneDrive or SharePoint Online. These changes can include adding new measures, changing column names, or editing visualizations. Once you save the file, Power BI service syncs with those changes too, usually within about an hour.
For more detailed steps, please refer to the following document.
