When I hit the URL, I view this: -

    @Mayank Sharma Welcome to Microsoft Q&A Forum, Thank you for posting your query here!

    As I understand, you need to access Azure blob container through URL am I correct? If, so it won't work. You can't access the container, You can access specific /individual file of the the blob container through Brower . Generate a Blob SAS URL and access through browser.
    The most easiest way to access blob container or file is through Azure Storage explorer tool and Shared Access Signature will help you to access specific blob file through browser.

    Please let us know if you have any further queries. I’m happy to assist you further.

    Initially i had this problem too, now i am able to create a url to a single file of a block blob. I still cannot access the URL to the container though - not sure why.

    But then again, why would we want to generate URLS for? These are technically not for purpose of file share. right?

    On what situation would you want a URL?
