Hi @Anonymous 

If you can make sure that you have configured it as per this blog post from Chris Webb: Chris Webb's BI Blog: Configuring Power BI Gateway Data Sources For Files And Folders Chris Webb's BI Blog (crossjoin.co.uk)

And if you can make sure that the same account has got access to the folder and files

Thanks for the reply GilbertQ

I already read that article, in which he has explained the things very well but he is accessing the excel files, creating the folder as data source in gateway which is (i.e. files from network folder) accessible in my case also but i want to add the network folder as source from within i have to access 130 txt files

You would have to create the folder first to get it all done.
