While the attribute takes a Connection property, you can also use the StorageAccountAttribute to specify a storage account connection. You can do this when you need to use a different storage account than other functions in the library. The constructor takes the name of an app setting that contains a storage connection string. The attribute can be applied at the parameter, method, or class level. The following example shows class level and method level:

[StorageAccount("ClassLevelStorageAppSetting")]
public static class AzureFunctions
{
    [FunctionName("StorageTrigger")]
    [StorageAccount("FunctionLevelStorageAppSetting")]
    public static void Run( //...
{
    ...
}

The storage account to use is determined in the following order:

• The trigger or binding attribute's Connection property.
• The StorageAccount attribute applied to the same parameter as the trigger or binding attribute.
• The StorageAccount attribute applied to the function.
• The StorageAccount attribute applied to the class.
• The default storage account for the function app, which is defined in the AzureWebJobsStorage application setting.
