Welcome to version 1.10.1 of Microsoft Azure Storage Explorer. This release contains 2 new exciting features: Managed Disks and Settings. Additionally, Storage Explorer is now available for Linux via the Snap Store. For more information on these and all other changes and fixes continue reading below.

Hotfix

  • Some users encountered an error in 1.10.0 while attempting to view their data in their ADLS Gen 1 accounts. This error prevented the explorer panel from rendering properly. This has been fixed. #1853 #1865

New

  • Storage Explorer now has a dedicated Settings UI. You can access it either from Edit → Settings, or by clicking on the Settings icon (the gear) in the left-hand vertical toolbar. This feature is the first step we're taking towards providing a variety of user requested settings. Starting in this release the following settings are supported:
    • Theme
    • Proxy
    • Logout on exit #6
    • Enable device code flow sign-in
    • Auto refresh #1526
    • Enable AzCopy
    • AzCopy SAS duration
      If there are other setttings you would like to see added, please open an issue on GitHub describing the setting you want to see.
  • Storage Explorer now supports Managed Disks. You can:
    • Upload an on-prem VHD to a new Disk
    • Download a Disk
    • Copy and paste disks across resource groups and regions
    • Delete Disks
    • Create a Snapshot of a Disk
      The uploading, downloading, and cross-region copying of disks are powered by AzCopy v10.
  • Storage Explorer can now be installed via the Snap store on Linux. When you install via the Snap store, all dependencies are installed for you, including .NET Core! Currently we have verified that Storage Explorer runs well on Ubuntu and CentOS. If you encounter issues installing from the Snap store on other Linux distros, please open an issue on GitHub. To learn more about installing from the Snap store, see our getting started guide. #68
  • Two major changes have been made to attach with Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) which are intended to make the feature more useful for ADLS Gen2 users:
    • You now select the tenant that the resource you are attaching is in. This means that you no longer need to have RBAC access to the resource's subscription.
    • If you are attaching an ADLS Gen2 Blob Container, you can now attach to a specific path in the container.
  • When managing ACLs for ADLS Gen2 files and folders, Storage Explorer will now show the friendly names for entities in the ACL. #957
  • When adding via OID to an ADLS Gen2 ACL, Storage Explorer will now validate that the OID belongs to a valid entity in your tenant. #1603
  • The keyboard shortcuts for navigating between tabs now use more standard key combinations. #1018
  • Middle clicking on a tab will now close it. #1348
  • If an AzCopy transfer contains skips and no failures, Storage Explorer will now show a warning icon to highlight that skips occured. #1490
  • The integrated AzCopy has been updated to version 10.2.1. Additionally, you can now view the version of AzCopy installed in the About dialog. #1343

Fixes

  • Many users have run into various "cannot read version of undefined" or "cannot read connection of undefined" errors when working with attached Storage Accounts. Although we are still continuing to investigate the root cause of this issue, in 1.10.0 we have improved the error handling around loading attached Storage Accounts. #1626, #985, and #1532
  • It was possible for the explorer tree (left-hand side) to get into a state where focus would jump to the top node repeatedly. This has been fixed. #1596
  • When managing a blob's snapshots, screenreaders would not read the timestamp associated with the snapshot. This has been fixed. #1202
  • Proxy setting on macOS were not being set in time for the authentication process to use them. This has been fixed. #1567
  • If a Storage Account in a sovereign cloud was attached using name and key, AzCopy would not work. This has been fixed. #1544
  • When attaching via a connection string, Storage Explorer will now remove trailing spaces. #1387

Known Issues

  • The Auto Refresh setting does not yet affect all operations in the Blob Explorer.
  • Managed Disk features are not supported in Azure Stack.
  • If a Disk upload or paste fails and a new Disk was created prior to the failure, Storage Explorer will not delete the Disk for you.
  • Depending on when you cancel a Disk upload or paste, it is possible to leave the new Disk in a corrupted state. If this happens, you either need to delete the new Disk, or manually call the Disk APIs to replace the contents of the Disk such that it is no longer corrupted.
