Hi @Vinod Survase - Thanks for reaching over Q&A forum.

In Azure storage, you will have option of dumping the data to either blob or file storage. However, with blob storage you won’t have option to map that as network drive/network share; so if that’s that use case then you would have to explore File shares.

Alternatively, you can dump the data into blob storage and the make use of Azure storage explorer for navigation or data management.

Both services have different form of auth available for accessing data and you can also control over the networking plane as well.

lastly the pricing of storage is on capacity, operation and bandwidth charges so you can evaluate the rates from the billing page.
