Query about setting up a gateway for Power BI with Azure network drive for scheduled refresh

[ShashankRao99]

I have a question regarding setting up a gateway for Power BI with data stored in an Azure network drive. Currently, we are using Box Drive(on the cloud) as a workaround for schedule refresh, but we would like to automate the refresh process. Is it possible to set up a gateway for this scenario? Our goal is to schedule automatic data refresh in Power BI without manually opening the Power BI file and hitting refresh. If so, could you please provide guidance on how to configure the gateway and establish a scheduled refresh for the Azure network drive data source? Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Hi @ShashankRao99 

I am not aware of this particular data source. But as you mentioned it is on cloud and Azure you don't need a GW to refresh that. Creating a report and republishing it would give you that information. Make sure you edit your credentials after publishing and then under Refresh option you should be able to set the schedule refresh.

Hey @ShashankRao99 
We don't require any gateway for cloud databases.
