SAS key for UNC Path

Question

Hi,

I have a question regarding the storage account SAS Key. I want to use the SAS key to mount an Azure Share using 'net use' command.

I was just trying to understand is it possible to use a SAS key instead of an Access Key as a password while mounting the Azure Share. So something like this :

net use Z: \Storageaccount.file.core.windows.net\myshare u:\Azure\StorageAccount "SAS_KEY_GOES_HERE"

So, in above scenario is it possible to use SAS key?

@Chandresh Modi Firstly, apologies for the delay in responding here and any inconvenience this issue may have caused.

Unfortunately, it's impossible to do that. The SAS token is not supported in mounting Azure File share currently, it just supports the Azure storage account key. You can take a look at the feedback. If you wish you may leave your feedback there All the feedback you share in these forums
will be monitored and reviewed by the Microsoft engineering teams responsible for building Azure.

Workaround: You can try Azure Files FUSE Driver: https://github.com/microsoft/AzureFilesFUSE

Hope this helps!

Kindly let us know if the above helps or you need further assistance on this issue.
