Hi , Hope doing good!

To answer your query , please check below Using AzCopy:

AzCopy is a command-line utility specifically designed for transferring data to and from Azure Blob Storage.

a. Download and install AzCopy on your Linux VM by following the instructions here: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/storage/common/storage-use-azcopy-v10

b. Once installed, open a terminal.

c. Use the azcopy copy command to download multiple blobs. Here's an example command:

azcopy copy "https://mystorageaccount.blob.core.windows.net/mycontainer/*" /path/to/local/folder --recursive=true

Replace https://mystorageaccount.blob.core.windows.net/mycontainer/* with the URL of your container and blobs (you can use wildcards), and /path/to/local/folder with the local directory where you want to save the downloaded blobs.

Thank you for contacting Microsoft community.
