New

  • Accessing the $web containers used by Static Websites is now supported. This allows you to easily upload and manage files and folders used by your website. #223
  • The app bar on macOS has been reorganized. Changes include a File menu, some shortcut key changes, and several new commands under the app menu. #99
  • The authority endpoint for signing in to Azure US Government has been changed to https://login.microsoftonline.us/
  • Accessibility: When a screen reader is active, keyboard navigation now works with the tables used for displaying items on the right-hand side. You can use the arrow keys to navigate rows and columns, Enter to invoke default actions, the context menu key to open up the context menu for an item, and Shift or Control to multiselect. #103

Fixes

  • On some machines, child processes were taking a long time to start. When this would happen, a "child process failed to start in a timely manner" error would appear. The time allotted for a child process to start has now been increased from 20 to 90 seconds. If you are still affected by this issue, please comment on the linked GitHub issue. #281
  • When using a SAS that did not have read permissions, it was not possible to upload a large blob. The logic for upload has been modified to work in this scenario. #305
  • Setting the public access level for a container would remove all access policies, and vice versa. Now, public access level and access policies are preserved when setting either of the two. #197
  • "AccessTierChangeTime" was truncated in the Properties dialog. This has been fixed. #145
  • The "Microsoft Azure Storage Explorer -" prefix was missing from the Create New Directory dialog. This has been fixed. #299
  • Accessibility: The Add Entity dialog was difficult to navigate when using VoiceOver. Improvements have been made. #206
  • Accessibility: The background color of the collapse/expand button for the Actions and Properties pane was inconsistent with similar UI controls in High Contrast Black theme. The color has been changed. #123
  • Accessibility: In High Contrast Black theme, the focus styling for the 'X' button in the Properties dialog was not visible. This has been fixed. #243
  • Accessibility: The Actions and Properties tabs were missing several aria values which resulted in a subpar screen reader experience. The missing aria values have now been added. #316
  • Accessibility: Collapsed tree nodes on the left hand side were not being given an aria-expanded value of false. This has been fixed. #352

Known Issues

  • Detatching from a resource attached via SAS URI, such as a blob container, may cause an error that prevents other attachments from showing up correctly. To work around this issue, just refresh the group node. See this issue for more information.
  • If you use VS for Mac and have ever created a custom AAD configuration, you may be unable to sign-in. To work around the issue, delete the contents of ~/.IdentityService/AadConfigurations. If doing so does not unblock you, please comment on this issue.
  • Azurite has not yet fully implemented all Storage APIs. Because of this, there may be unexpected errors or behavior when using Azurite for development storage.
  • In rare cases, the tree focus may get stuck on Quick Access. To unstick the focus, you can Refresh All.
    Uploading from your OneDrive folder does not work because of a bug in NodeJS. The bug has been fixed, but not yet integrated into Electron.
  • When targeting Azure Stack, uploading certain files as append blobs may fail.
  • After clicking "Cancel" on a task, it may take a while for that task to cancel. This is because we are using the cancel filter workaround described here.
  • If you choose the wrong PIN/Smartcard certificate, then you will need to restart in order to have Storage Explorer forget that decision.
  • Renaming blobs (individually or inside a renamed blob container) does not preserve snapshots. All other properties and metadata for blobs, files, and entities are preserved during a rename.
  • Azure Stack does not support the following features, and attempting to use them while working with Azure Stack may result in unexpected errors:
    • File shares
    • Access tiers
    • Soft Delete
  • The Electron shell used by Storage Explorer has trouble with some GPU (graphics processing unit) hardware acceleration. If Storage Explorer is displaying a blank (empty) main window, you can try launching Storage Explorer from the command line and disabling GPU acceleration by adding the --disable-gpu switch:

./StorageExplorer.exe --disable-gpu

  • For Linux users, you will need to install .NET Core 2.0.
  • For users on Ubuntu 14.04, you will need to ensure GCC is up-to-date - this can be done by running the following commands, and then restarting your machine:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-toolchain-r/test
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

  • For users on Ubuntu 17.04, you will need to install GConf - this can be done by running the following commands, and then restarting your machine:

sudo apt-get install libgconf-2-4
