    @Darren D. D'Amico Welcome to Microsoft Q&A Forum, Thank you for posting your query here!

    Yes, you need an Azure account to create and use a storage account in Azure. A storage account is a logical container for data objects in Azure, and it is associated with an Azure subscription.

    To create a storage account, you need to have an active Azure subscription. If you don't have an Azure subscription, you can sign up for a free trial or purchase a subscription from the Azure website. Once you have an Azure subscription, you can create a storage account in the Azure portal, Azure PowerShell, Azure CLI, or using Azure Resource Manager templates.

    When you create a storage account, you can choose the pricing tier and performance level that best meets your needs. You can also configure various settings for your storage account, such as access tiers, replication options, and network settings.

    Once you have created a storage account, you can use it to store and manage various types of data objects, such as blobs, files, queues, and tables. You can also use various Azure services and features that integrate with storage accounts, such as Azure Backup, Azure Site Recovery, and Azure Functions.

    In summary, you need an Azure account to create and use a storage account in Azure. A storage account is associated with an Azure subscription, and you can create and manage storage accounts using various Azure tools and services.
