Azure Files

Azure Files is Microsoft's cloud file sharing platform. While similar to Azure Blob Storage, Azure Files is geared towards creating SMB file shares that groups of users (rather than applications) can use. This component lets you manage files and shares within Azure Files.

You can also grant limited access to your Azure Storage Resources using Shared Access Signatures (SAS) authentication, which involves an access token. You can obtain a connection string containing an SAS token from the Azure Portal. Keep in mind this token will eventually expire. Make sure to configure an expiration date you will remember, so you can manually refresh the token at a later date.
