    Hi there

    Could you give more details on what you mean by shared folder?

    Is this a SharePoint folder or on a file share?

    If on a file share you will need to install and configure the Gateway.

    Hi Anonymous ,

    What data source does your report use? The files which be put in shared folder are report file or data source file? Where the shared folder located? 

    In addition, it seems there is on-premises data source involved in your report as it required the gateway configuration... You can review the following documentations about the details of gateway and refer them to install and configure it.

    What is an on-premises data gateway?
