Hi @Steve Gray , the UNC format to map your drive from Azure File:
\\<storageAccountName>.file.core.windows.net\<fileShareName>
Based on your entry above, your Storage Account Name is iwotgames and your File Share Name is iwotgames. Is that accurate? Can you share a screenshot showing the Storage Account Name and File Share Name from Azure Portal?
These are the errors I get, and what I'm trying to connect.
This is what the Resources look like on my Azure account
I've tried putting "-" in the names, but that didn't help...
Hi @Steve Gray , your Storage Account Names is "iwotgames". Have you created a File Share under that Storage Account with the name "iwotgames"?
If you need guidance on how to create a File Share in Azure Storage Account: Create an HDD pay-as-you-go file share
I think I have two File Shares that I've created at various times while trying to solve this problem... thank you for your help!
When I try to execute the script that is provided on the Azure portal, the Test-NetConnection fails. I ran it independently of the script just to test that one command. Running Test-NetConnection on its own (with the defaults) works fine.
I also can't ping that server...
My screen when I select Networking doesn't look like yours...

Hello Steve Gray
I have reached you via Private message if the issue still persists, please help me with your email and availability so that we can connect over the call and resolve this.
Hi @Steve Gray ,
Please make sure that "Public network access" = Enabled from all networks for your Storage Account.
If network configuration for your Storage Account has followed the required settings, another possibility: your ISP may block port 445, see Cause 1: Port 445 is blocked. I'd suggest to have a look at Solution 2 or Solution 4.
