I followed this link: "https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/storage/files/storage-files-how-to-create-nfs-shares?tabs=azure-portal#limitations" in Steps to create an NFS file share.
However, there is no NFS protocol option when creating File Shares, and the default protocol after creation is SMB.

    Hi @celined ,

    This may be because of your subscription, you need to be registered for the Azure Files NFS preview. You will need to run a few additional commandlets from either Cloud Shell or a local terminal to enable the feature.

    For more information see:

    Unable to create an NFS share
    https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/storage/files/storage-troubleshooting-files-nfs#unable-to-create-an-nfs-share'

    Please allow around 30 minutes for the change to take effect, after that you should be able to select which protocol:
