Uploading data to Google drive

I have a ,Pbix file where data are excel sheets located on my laptop, i'd like to publish on the service & using the mobile to refresh the model while my laptop is closed. i went through the below steps but it doesn't work. where's the issue please?

1 - I have copied the Excel sheets in the Google Drive (Copy not backing up or synching them, to ensure that the files are located on the Google Drive)

2 - From the desktop (transform), I have changed the source of the files & selected the drive files instead of the local files.

3 - I published the file on the service.

4 - in the data gateway & cloud connection, when i started to select each file, it gives me the authentication as windows, i think it means it still linked to the local file on my lap top.

 

How could i make the service file independent on the local files & read directly from the Google drive files?

Regards

    HI Mahegazy ,

     

    On step 4, in the data source/gateway are you using the FQDN or are you using the link to your hard drive (if it has a "C://" or something like that then you are using the local file).  

    So, the fix is to add these to your gateway as data sources to the correct linked location.

    I make the below changes.

    1 - I have copied the excel sheet drive link & editing its end after the name with "export?format=xlsx"

    2 - One of the sheet succeeded & the other i had got the below message

    What's the issue?

      Hi Mahegazy ,

       

      It looks something is wrong with your pbix file. Try to refresh your report on desktop app and republish again.As collinq mentioned you need a On-premises gateway personal mode on your computer if you are seeing c:// in your table m-query(open advanced editor in transform data and check your queries one by one).

       

      Thanks,

      Sai Teja
