Azure Blob, File Storage - Folder creation & conversion to Zip programmatically in C#

Question

My project is using:
Azure.Storage.Blob - V12.10.0
Current .Net Core version - V2.2

I am looking for an efficient way to do this for Bulk Download, if link to appropriate Documents can be provided to solve the below queries using C#

My project requires me to do the following things on Azure Cloud

1. Create folder & sub folders (hierarchy of folders)
2. Upload files in those folders
3. Create ZIP of the parent folder and get link for download.

From what I could figure out is - we cannot create empty folders programmatically; we can give nested path and it'll create all the folders on its own along with a file.

I looked into many tutorials & forums but couldn't find the right one in C#.

Please help me resolve these issues on how to do it programmatically.
Thanks in advance.

@Abhilab Das Firstly, Apologies for the delay response ! Welcome to Microsoft Q&A

Azure Storage doesn't provide any built-in functionality to achieve all of this requirement by default. However each of your requirements needs various steps to be taken. See the action plan inline to your questions:

Action plan :
Create folder and its hierarchy the sample code is here:
Upload files to these folders, see the sample code here.
Create ZiP of the parent folder and get link for the download. ( Similar workaround is here, You need to customize it based on your ask )

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