Premium storage account with both Fileshare and blob storage

hi!

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/storage/common/storage-account-overview?toc=%2Fazure%2Fstorage%2Fblobs%2Ftoc.json

We wanted to upgrade the standard plan StorageV2 (general purpose v2) [Zone-redundant storage (ZRS) ] to premium storage SSD as we use it to host the website, but for our site building process we use both file storage and move files there and change the slot to avoid any downtime and whatnot so we need both file shares and blob storage access with containers.

After we created sample premium plans we noticed that they don't allow both of those to exist and you can only select one. Is there some workaround for this or do we have to recreate our whole build structure to accommodate that change?

Thank you in advance for answers!

    Hello,

    Welcome to Microsoft Q&A,

    Unfortunately, Premium storage has limitations, such as not supporting both blob storage and file storage in a single account as premium storage accounts are specialized for specific workloads and are optimized for performance rather than flexibility.

    The other option is to update the workflow to reference two storage accounts, one for Premium Blob storage and the other for Premium FileStorage. Use the corresponding storage account depending on whether you're accessing blobs or files.
