!1. Azure File Share\\
\\
CrushFTP supports Microsoft Azure Shares as VFS item, it requires a __Storage Account:__ [https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/storage/common/storage-account-overview]. About Azure file share: [https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/storage/files/storage-how-to-create-file-share?tabs=azure-portal]\\
\\
The URL should looks like (Replace the url with your corresponding data!):\\
\\
{{{
azure://STORAGE_ACCOUNT_NAME:ACCESSKEY@file.core.windows.net/SHARE_NAME/}}}
\\
You can find those on the Azure portal, under __Storage Account__. From the left-side menu select __Access keys__ to reveal them.\\
\\

\\
Then paste them on the appropriate fields in CrushFTP.\\

\\
When using “Browse…” in the Jobs interface, or plugin interfaces, the UI is slightly different:\\
\\
There is an input field for the file service share: Share Name \\

\\
!2. Azure Blob Container\\
\\
CrushFTP supports __Azure Blobs__([https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/storage/blobs/storage-blobs-introduction]) as VFS item, it requires a __Storage Account:__ [https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/storage/common/storage-account-overview]. \\
Azure Blob Storage is __not like a normal filesystem__ with folders and deeper levels you can go into.  It's more like S3 where a file’s name contains slashes making it simulate a folder structure but with many limitations when it comes to renaming and truly simulating a normal file system. Folder rename is not supported.\\
\\
The URL should look like (Replace the url with your corresponding data!):\\

{{{
azure://STORAGE_ACCOUNT_NAME:ACCESSKEY@blob.core.windows.net/BLOB_CONTAINER_NAME/}}}
\\
[attachments|azure_blob3.png]\\
\\
__Data Lake storage Gen2__: More info on the official website: [https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/storage/blobs/data-lake-storage-introduction].\\
Turn on the flag if the storage type is the data lake.\\
\\
When using “Browse…” in the Jobs interface, or plugin interfaces, the UI is slightly different:\\
\\
To specify the blob container use the input field: Share Name \\
[attachments|azure_blobRemoteItem.png]\\
\\

You need to select the blob type (append blob or block blobs - page blobs are not supported) specified when creating the blob on Azure.

!3. SAS token\\
\\
Azure also has the ability to delegate access with a shared access signature (SAS) [https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/storage/common/storage-sas-overview].\\
In this case, the url should looks like:
{{{
azure://STORAGE_ACCOUNT_NAME:@blob.core.windows.net/BLOB_CONTAINER_NAME/}}}\\
Or
{{{
azure://STORAGE_ACCOUNT_NAME:@file.core.windows.net/SHARE_NAME/}}}\\
\\
[attachments|SAS.png]\\
\\
The __password field should be empty__ and put the SAS token to the "__Shared access signature token__" input field.\\
