Azure File Storage

Microsoft Azure Storage provides a massively scalable, durable, and highly available storage for data on the cloud, and serves as the data storage solution for modern applications. Connect to File Storage to perform various operations such as create, update, get and delete on files in your Azure Storage account.

This connector is available in the following products and regions:

Service Class Regions
Logic Apps Standard All Logic Apps regions and Integration Service Environments (ISEs)
Power Automate Premium All Power Automate regions

Actions that support chunking feature.

These actions can be used to handle files up to 300MB. The feature is enabled by default.

Known issues and limitations

  1. Logic apps can't directly access storage accounts that are behind firewalls if they're both in the same region. As a workaround, you can have your logic apps and storage account in different regions. For more information about enabling access from Azure Logic Apps to storage accounts behind firewalls, see the Access storage accounts behind firewalls

    • https://account-secondary.file.core.windows.net/ (if connecting to the secondary endpoint)
    • Relative URLs (for example, account.file.core.windows.net) will be rejected.
