While launching Azure Cloudshell, it asks for a fileshare to be mounted. I am assuming that it is required to store the commands that we execute. However, a detailed explanation would be greatly appreciated as I'm new to Azure.
Also, please share any document that provides an explanation for this

Cloud Shell persists your files in your $HOME location using a 5-GB file share. Cloud Shell requires a storage account to host the mounted Azure Files share.

in addition to Sreeju Nair's answer:
The Cloud Shell fileshare storage can be used to upload script(s) and execute the script(s) from Cloud Shell. The second use case is to store output files in the Cloud Shell fileshare for later use/download, for instance outputs of scripts, log files, ....
