The on-prem gateway is configured as shown below:

On-prem:

On the DATA tab in power automate:

When configuring the File System connection I made sure I used the DOMAIN\username format. The password used, is the one I use to unlock my screen on my local laptop, aka - local account password (Not my AzureAD credentials).

If you've found a solution to this please comment up!
