Azure File Storage

How to Add Azure File Storage Using RcloneView​

Azure File Storage uses SMB and needs three items to connect:

  • Azure Storage Account Name
  • Storage Account Shared Key
  • Azure File Share Name

You can copy all three from the Azure Portal (Storage account > Access keys for the shared key, and File shares for the share name).
