Request for Solution Document – Mapping Azure Blob Storage as Network Drive in On-Premises Environment

Vinay hi,

first, u can’t natively map azure blob storage like a regular network drive. there’s a workaround )) u can use azure file sync or azure files to create an SMB share that acts like a network drive. it’s not exactly blob storage, but it’s close and way easier to handle.

set up an azure file share. it’s basically a cloud folder that u can access like a local drive. sync it to ur on-premises server using azure file sync. this way, it’ll show up as a network drive for ur users. configure permissions so everyone who needs access can get it without a hassle.

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/storage/files/storage-files-introduction. it’s got all the deets u need ))

if u really wanna stick with blob storage, u might need a third-party tool like storage explorer or something similar. but honestly, azure files is way more straightforward for what u’re trying to do.

if u ever need to share files between cloud and on-prem, azure files is a solid pick. worth looking into ))

as well check this link for blob storage specifics https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/storage/blobs/storage-blobs-introduction. just in case u wanna explore all options )

Best regards,

Alex
