Answer 1

Hi,

Something here might help:

Mount Azure file share over SMB with macOS
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/storage/files/storage-how-to-use-files-mac

Replace <storage-account-name> with the name of your storage account. Provide Storage Account Key as password when prompted:

mount_smbfs //<storage-account-name>@<storage-account-name>.file.core.windows.net/<share-name> <desired-mount-point>  

Make sure the file share is available.

Best regards,
Leon
