Answer 1

Hello @Arif Usman ,
Using Storage Account explorer UI there is no option to copy from blob to file share but you can make use of azcopy commandline tool
More about azcopy utility: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/storage/common/storage-use-azcopy-v10?WT.mc_id=AZ-MVP-5001086

Example command which I just tried in my local to copy blob from container to fileshare

.\azcopy.exe copy 'https://STORAGEACCOUNTNAME.blob.core.windows.net/test2/1.html?SASKEY' 'https://STORAGEACCOUNTNAME.file.core.windows.net/testa/f1/1.html?SASKEY'

Hi : )

Just wanted to add a small comment about it and I wonder if you have tried to connect from Azure Storage Explorer using the option Subscription instead of SAS key.

If I am not mistaken, you will get all the storage stuff reflected from the Subscription ID chosen to authenticate on this tool.

I hope you can find this useful to address your concern.

Looking forward to your feedback,

Cheers!
