As the title says, I don't know how to get the latest version of Storage Explorer.
The target is the Storage Explorer installed on the virtual server.
That server is allowed to bring in files.

If there are more than one, I would appreciate it if you could let me know about each one, and if I need to reboot the OS to do so, I would appreciate it if you could let me know about that as well.

    Hello @krky1234567 ,

    Thank you for reaching out to Microsoft Q&A platform. Happy to answer your question.
    Upgrading the azure storage explorer to latest version is pretty easy and it doesn't require reboot. Also you can just install the latest version by downloading the .exe from storage-explorer

    The latest version of storage explorer is 1.22.0, there are older versions too, but it is always recommended to use the latest versions.

    or you can do it by checking the latest updates from an existing version installed.

    From Azure Storage explorer > Help > Check for updates, you can check if there is any new release and install.

    If that doesn't work, go to https://github.com/microsoft/AzureStorageExplorer/releases and pick the latest setup from Assets section and install it. Existing Storage explorer will be upgraded to the new one. Reboot not needed.
