@ Welcome to Microsoft Q&A Forum, Thank you for posting your query here!

Public read access to blob data is an optional setting that can be enabled on a container. While convenient for sharing data, public read access carries security risks. For enhanced security, you can now choose to disallow public access to blob data in a storage account. After you disallow public access for a storage account, all requests for blob data must be authorized regardless of the container’s public access setting. Any subsequent anonymous requests to that account will fail.

By default, a storage account allows public access to be configured for containers in the account, but does not enable public access to your data. Public access to blob data is never permitted unless you take the additional step to explicitly configure the public access setting for a container.

Microsoft recommends that you disallow public access to a storage account unless your scenario requires it. Disallowing public access helps to prevent data breaches caused by undesired anonymous access. Learn more

A container's permissions are configured for private access by default, but you can easily configure a container's permissions to allow public, read-only access for all users on the Internet: Configure a container for public access

In this article, you learn to manage blobs by using Java. Blobs are objects that can hold large amounts of text or binary data, including images, documents, streaming media, and archive data. You'll upload, download, and list blobs, and you'll create and delete containers. Manage blobs with Java v12 SDK
