Hello everyone,
I download a zip file from a Azure Blob Storage using this code:
blob_client_instance = blob_service_client_instance.get_blob_client(
"container_name", "Test_Zip.zip", snapshot=None)
blob_data = blob_client_instance.download_blob()
data = blob_data.readall()
The output of data is bytes type, which is not readable at all. How can I use the downloaded zip file? Or is there a way how I can store the zip file locally immediately without using the readall() function?
I'd appreciate any help.
Regards

@Peter Are you able to unzip the file using any apps/tools and read it? Is it any different than a regular zip file? Please let me know. Thanks!
Hi @SaiKishor-MSFT , thanks for your reply. The mistake was on my side, I didn´t add the ".zip" extension. With this and a tool to unzip it, it works fine.

Its far away but I have the same problem but can't get over it event if my file is .zip when blob_client_instance.download_blob() the output is a StorageStreamDownloader object that I can't unzip
