ayi <t>A few items for your question:<br/> <br/> You can't mount Azure Blob Storage as a native share on a virtual machine.<br/> <br/> Azure Blob Storage isn't hierarchical beyond containers. You can add files that have / or \ characters in them that are interpreted as folders by many apps that read blob storage.<br/> <br/> Azure File Service provides a SMB protocol interface to Azure Blob Storage which solves the problem with (1).<br/> <br/> If you are developing a new application then leverage the native Azure API directly into Blob Storage.<br/> <br/> If you are porting an existing application that needs to share files then use Azure File Service.<br/> <br/> Note that there are a few SMB protocol features that Azure File Service doesn't support.</t>
