Have you ever had multiple on-premises storage devices and are either running/run out of space on them and wanted something in a central location to add, remove and manage your data files?
If so then the answer could be Azure Storage Explorer
This is a GUI-based tool that can be used to upload, download and manage blobs, file shares, tables and queues easily.
Storage explorer is compatible with Windows, macOS, and Linux operating systems.
How to connect?
You primarily connect to the Azure Storage Explorer using a Shared Access Signature (SAS) token.
This token allows you to set a start and end date to access this storage and what permissions you have to it. Once the token expires you just need to create a new one. The token also contains the url of the storage account you are trying to access.
Once you are connected to Azure Storage Explorer navigating around it is very similar to Windows File Explorer, in that you can drill down into folders/sub folders and files in just the same way.
