So I am new to Power BI and the whole idea of my reports being an actual pbix project file seems very odd. If I want to work from on my laptop, but also on my work PC what is the best workflow? USB is obviously not the correct answer here.
Solved! Go to Solution.
To be general, I would you can upload your pbix file to onedrive then connect to onedrive in power bi service. Or you can create the the dataset and report using dataflow.

I ended up creating a dataflow to automatically update the data from Azure SQL database and then saved the actual files to my Onedrive. Seems to work pretty good. No idea if this is a perfect workflow.

Okay it is still not letting me edit replies for whatever reason, but I have a new workflow doing what you said however I want to make sure this is effective.
I created a workspace and connected a dataflow to my Azure SQL Database. I will keep the PBIx files on my personal drive. I already tried connecting between PCs with their own version of desktop installed and it seemed to update within a few minutes so I can seamlessly work on PBI files and have the data be updated.
If my reports are all different will I need to create multiple workspaces as otherwise I will be imported every single table into my reports? Could I just have one workspace, import all tables, and then when I create a new report connect that data source and delete uneccessary tables within power BI or is that bad?
Hi @Black_magic100,
This depends on what you want to achieve you can work on a report on Power BI desktop but also on the website check the links below:
