On Premise User Access to Azure Container/Folder

Question

Sorry new to azure,and TechNet forums!(I usually have time to figure things out myself but under pressure at moment!)

I have been tasked with sharing an azure container with an on premise user.

Its not a file share but a container as their application plugs into it, but they need to be able to upload files to it themselves.

Is there a way of giving them a link etc for them to do this, or do I have to give them RBAC permissions, and let them logon to portal? I wanted it to be a bit more seamless for them.

I have also tried SAS but it only seems to work at file level, when I try container or folder URL gives error below?

Not sure how that is failing as file level uses same...

<Error>
<Code>AuthenticationFailed</Code>
<Message>
Server failed to authenticate the request. Make sure the value of Authorization header is formed correctly including the signature

Thanks in advance!

The easiest method would be to generate a SAS for the container like you stated. More examples are available in the CLI documentation. Make sure you include all the necessary permissions for the SAS token, a list can be found here.

Please try generating the SAS token again and let me know if it works for you. If it fails please give me the command you uses to generate the token as well as how you are attempting to use the token.
