Azure Blob Storage
The Azure Blob Storage provider for Data Sync supports read-write operations against an Azure Blob Storage container.
Since Azure Blob Storage stores binary objects you need to connect this provider with a Data Sync provider that supports binary blob or file data.
The following Data Sync providers can be connected to the Azure Blob Storage provider.
- FileSystem Provider
- SharePoint Document Library
- SQL Server Table with Blob Column configuration.
- Amazon S3
To connect enter your Azure Blob Storage AccessKey, AccountName and ContainerName to connect to.
AccessKey

AccountName

ContainerName
