Dear Magnourewa kassang,
To create and access a storage blob in Microsoft Azure, begin by going to the Azure portal, selecting "Create a resource," and then choosing "Storage account - blob, file, table, queue." Complete the necessary details and create the storage account. Next, access the resource, go to "Containers" under "Data storage," and create a new container, naming it and setting the public access level to either "Blob" or "Container." Upload a file to this container by clicking "+ Upload" and selecting your file. Ensure the container's public access level is not "Private" by checking its properties and adjusting as needed. The URL for accessing the blob follows the format https://<storage_account_name>.blob.core.windows.net/<container_name>/<blob_name>
, which you can use to open the file in a web browser. Make sure there are no network restrictions blocking access, and if you're using SAS tokens, verify they are correctly generated and valid. For instance, with a storage account named mystorageaccount
, a container named mycontainer
, and a blob named myfile.txt
, the URL would be https://mystorageaccount.blob.core.windows.net/mycontainer/myfile.txt
. By following these steps and confirming each setting, you should be able to successfully create and access a storage blob online.
