Greetings!

To access an Azure File Share with public access disabled from Azure Data Factory, follow these steps:

1. Configure the Linked Service for the blob storage in Azure Data Factory to use the Managed Virtual Network Integration Runtime (Managed Vnet IR).
2. Ensure that the storage account's firewall settings are set to "Enabled from selected Virtual Network IP addresses" and include the necessary IP addresses.

This configuration allows secure access to the Azure File Share without enabling public access, adhering to security best practices.
