I am a newbie in Azure and I need to create blob storage for public access, so I will save picture there which would be accessed without any authorization. I will then deploy link adress to my devices and they will pick up it to use as a wall paper (Intune, Windows and Android).

Problem is, that I can't find instructions which would match this scenario. I have tried to this by my own, but failing with http access problems or permission denied.

    Hi!

    Check out this link here: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/storage/blobs/storage-blob-static-website#impact-of-setting-the-access-level-on-the-web-container

    You should be able to change the access level on the blob container to 'Bob (anonymous read access to blobs only)'.

    Kind regards
    Dan

    @!Daniel Bradley I am afraid that is not so easy. Currently I have this option gray out even I am Global Admin. I have tried to create storage account in different ways and then option varies. I also see that Microsoft instructions do not match my options.
