Upload File to Azure Blob Storage with PowerShell

Question

Hello,

I am trying to upload a file to Azure Blob Storage with PowerShell by using the native REST API and a SAS Token.

I generated the SAS through my Azure Portal and I did it by first creating an access policy at the container level and then creating the SAS using that access policy. The SAS I created was for the container level, as I want to upload blobs to this container.

I am following this guys example: https://rzander.azurewebsites.net/upload-file-to-azure-blob-storage-with-powershell/ but I did not need the part where he is using the $name in the URL.

And I am getting the following error:

Invoke-RestMethod : AuthenticationFailedServer failed to authenticate the request. Make sure the value of Authorization
header is formed correctly including the signature.
RequestId:XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Time:2021-02-02T04:08:50.5626777ZSignature did not match. String to sign used was

At XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

• Invoke-RestMethod -Uri $uri -Method Put -Headers $headers -InFile $fi ...
• ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
• CategoryInfo : InvalidOperation: (System.Net.HttpWebRequest:HttpWebRequest) [Invoke-RestMethod], WebExceptio
  n
• FullyQualifiedErrorId : WebCmdletWebResponseException,Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.InvokeRestMethodCommand

I read that since I am using the SAS Token I do not need the Authorization header

@Raygadas Dominguez, Daniela Welcome to Microsoft Q&A, Thank you for posting your query!

Can you try to re-generate the SAS token through Azure Storage Explorer tool or generating a shared access signature (in azure portal) for key2 instead of key1. Changing the key fixed the error. (Settings > Shared access signature) Also the connection string should be updated as well - if used. (Settings > Access keys)and try again

Also to upload or download files to an Azure Storage account, there are several option, Especially easy and the fastest ways is through Azcopy tool

Some time PC time could cause this issue, please check the date and time.
