Sharepoint does not know how to handle .pbix files. Should be able to check out / open.

Sharepoint file handling .pbix-please make this option avaliable.
RE: Sharepoint file handling .pbix
Coming back after a year and it si still not solved :( Incredible and really annoying to continue with workarounds wasting time again and again and again ...
RE: Sharepoint file handling .pbix
Definitely not optional. There is no available solution that gives you proper versioning of Power BI Desktop files. Please make SP the first one.

Governance / Adoption hurdle
RE: Sharepoint file handling .pbix
Our entire project is stored in sharepoint, but we cannot store the .pbix file there and constantly update it. Now I have to create another share to this file
RE: Sharepoint file handling .pbix
YES! Please fix this... we recently migrated to SP online, and I've updated all of my report connections so that I can enable auto refresh on my reports, but now exist in SP, but I have to download and re-save them every time I update.
it is in the whitepapers to save the PBIX in a cloud source, but it's a pain having them in SP!
RE: Sharepoint file handling .pbix
There has to be a better way to publish a PBIX file to the service and get it to refresh the data without a gateway server. Fix this by letting sharepoint handle pbix files.
RE: Sharepoint file handling .pbix
MS Team please make it possible to open pibx files from the desktop app directly in the sharepoint folder
RE: Sharepoint file handling .pbix
The inability of SPO to interact with .pbix's takes my breath away. I can't believe that this is the case. I'm in shock right now. How on earth are we supposed to both be able to update reports from Power BI Desktop to Power BI Service *and* keep the report in the cloud? We have three people who need access to the .pbix and SPO is the only environment we keep docs in. Are we really back to downloading a file, saving it locally, deleting the file in SPO, then reuploading the file, then creating a *new* report in Power BI Service? How am I supposed to go back to the execs and tell them this when I barely convinced to get on board with Power BI in the first place? They're looking for any excuse to not go with Power BI and are not convinced of SPO either. I migrated everything from Salesforce a few months ago and no one is happy. This kind of thoughtlessness is a form of professional cruelty from Microsoft.
RE: Sharepoint file handling .pbix
This is a needed feature, to migrate Power BI development into sharepoint.
