Hi there,

Use a temporary folder like $env:TEMP first.
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/automation/automation-runbook-execution#temporary-storage-in-a-sandbox

The example below

$File=$env:TEMP + "\yourfile.txt"  
Get-AzureStorageFileContent -Path $File  
Get-Content $File

Hi NGaur,

Thank you for posting your query.

I have found an article with the same issue that you are encountering check this link https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/answers/questions/408295/how-do-i-download-blob-file-from-an-azure-blob-sto.html

$resourceGroup = "myRG"
$storageAccountName = "AccountName"
$containerName = "listtestblobs"

$storageAccount = Get-AzStorageAccount -ResourceGroupName $resourceGroup
-Name $storageAccountName
$ctx = $storageAccount.Context

Get-AzStorageBlobContent -Blob "Image001.jpg" -Container $containerName
-Destination "D:_TestImages\Downloads\" `
-Context $ctx
