Gateway Connection on Power BI Service.
Thanks for the replies from SaiTejaTalasila and rajendraongole1.
Hi e_kalonji ,
Based on the error message you provided, I observed that the path you are using seems to be a folder, can you copy the complete file name of the csv or text file and try again. Please right click on the file and copy as path.
This is my test result:

Hi e_kalonji -When configuring the data source in the On-premises Data Gateway (in Power BI Service), ensure the Data Source Credentials match the account with file access. Often, it's helpful to use a domain\username format if the account is on a domain.
If your email isn’t working, try logging in with domain credentials directly in the gateway configuration (e.g., DOMAIN\username) instead of the email format.
If you’re still unable to connect, a good approach would be to test with a simple data source, like a local Excel file, to isolate whether the issue is specific to the network drive configuration.

Hope this helps.
Hi rajendraongole1, there is no way to set a gateway using the local computer's login details since the system requires an email address.
I read all the resources you recommended, double checked that my login details corresponded, but am still getting this two error messages:
1. This one when am using my email address.
2. This one when I attempt to connect using my local machine login details.
