Azure File Storage

Azure File Storage is a fully managed file share service in the cloud that provides file storage accessible via the Server Message Block (SMB) protocol. It enables you to create and manage file shares that can be accessed by multiple virtual machines or applications, similar to traditional on-premises file shares. Azure File Storage supports features such as file synchronization, backup, and access control, allowing you to store and manage files with ease. It integrates with Azure Active Directory for authentication and access management, and it offers scalability and high availability for file storage. By using Azure File Storage, organizations can replace or extend on-premises file shares, simplify file management, and leverage cloud-based storage solutions.
