    Couple Options other than OneDrive:

    1) Schedule the refresh for a time when you know your computer should be running. (not ideal, prone to some errors)

    2) You can install the gateway on any machine that stays running, as long as it has access to the file you are using to refresh the dataset.

    No, it's still in Preview, and you are correct, that is an important thing to point out. And there are preview-type limitations, such as available data sources, which should also be pointed out. But, it sounded like what VictoriaRosas was looking for was more along the lines of a single gateway that could handle multiple, different people's data sources and to my knowledge, Enterprise Gateway is the vehicle for that versus Personal Gateway, which is; well, for *personal* use. :)

     

    Azure IaaS applies either way. For me personally, I have an Azure IaaS VM that I do some of this stuff with and I also have an old laptop that just sits and runs Personal Gateway all day as well.
