How to host a file that anyone can access over http

Mark Wright 236

Hi,

I need to host a file in format https://somefile.zip

Its over 1gb

It has to be accessible to anyone. It has to be full file URL.

Can I do this with e.g blob storage ?

Appreciate any help.

Answer 1

A file can be shared in Azure blob services with the url format as https://<sg account name>.blob.core.windows.net/<container name>/file.zip

The name can be customized further, if you register your own domain as follows

http://<customdomain>/<mycontainer>/<myblob>

Let's know, are you looking for the above details.

However, you can't share the file with the url as https://somefile.zip because of the dependencies of custom domain and azure blob storage sharing requirements
