thanks for the quick response:

while creating a fuction app, storage account option does not come in my case. Attaching screen shot for you reference

When I copy connection string from storage account->access key(key 1) and set it manually under function app->configuration add AzureWebJobsStorage and connection string under Application settings and restrted the function app. But still getting same error.

tryed creating separate storage account and resource group but no success.

Please suggest, is this because of free account?

I have the same problem. The option to define Storage account doesn't show when creating Function App. And then, when restarting Function App with Durable Function created I'm getting an error "Microsoft.Azure.WebJobs.Extensions.DurableTask: Unable to find an Azure Storage connection string to use for this binding."
I also use a Free Azure account with 200$ credits for the first month.
I need help with the issue.

The option for storage is still missing, honestly is this a joke?

I had the same issue because of Resource Group. Make sure all are within the same Resource Group.

Hello,
You got this error because your App Function has no storage.
You need to create a storage account and then get the connection string from the "Access keys" section of the storage account (something that starts with "DefaultEndpointsProtocol=https;AccountName=...").
You then go to your App Function, "Configuration" section, and create a new application parameter which will have the name "AzureWebJobsStorage" and the connection string of your storage account as its value.
It should work better...

Thanks, works for me :)

I think I made it working. What I did:

I created a new Storage account which is PUBLIC (not private). I also created not one, like Vivek, but two App Settings in Function App: AzureWebJobsStorage and AzureWebJobsDashboard, In both I used connection string, as Vivek explained. It seemed to partly work for me, because now I have a warning "Storage is not configured properly, Function scaling will be limited. Click to learn more".

Still. Why is the option to create a storage account missing in the creation Wizard of the new Function App???

When you are creating an Azure Function App, you will be creating and associating a Storage Account as well.

You can see it inside Function App -> Configuration and there will be a value for the key AzureWebJobsStorage.
