Azure Storage

Azure Storage is one of the cloud computing PaaS (Platform as a Service) services the Microsoft Azure team provides. It provides cloud storage that is highly available, secure, durable, scalable, and redundant. It is massively scalable and elastic. It can store and process hundreds of terabytes of data, or you can store the small amounts of data required for a small business website.

Here, we will see about Storage Explorer.

About Storage Explorer

Microsoft Azure Storage Explorer is a standalone app that makes it easy to work with Azure Storage data on Windows, macOS, and Linux. It allows you to efficiently connect and manage your Azure storage service accounts and resources across subscriptions. You can create, delete, view, and edit resources in Azure Storage, Azure Cosmos DB, and Data Lake Storage.

Azure Storage Explorer is a useful GUI tool for inspecting the data in your Azure cloud storage projects, including the logs of your cloud-hosted applications. You can easily connect to your subscription and manipulate your tables, blobs, queues, and files.
