Azure Files Storage

In order to use Microsoft Azure blob or file storage you need to reference .

Connect to Azure Files

To create file share by storage name and key:

IBlobStorage storage = StorageFactory.Blobs.AzureFiles(accountName, accountKey);
IBlobStorage storage = StorageFactory.Blobs.AzureFiles(accountName, accountKey, serviceUri);

To create Azure Files with Shared Key:

IBlobStorage storage = StorageFactory.Blobs.AzureFilesWithSharedKey(accountName, accountKey);
IBlobStorage storage = StorageFactory.Blobs.AzureFilesWithSharedKey(accountName, accountKey, cloudEnvironment);
IBlobStorage storage = StorageFactory.Blobs.AzureFilesWithSharedKey(accountName, accountKey, serviceUri, cloudEnvironment);

To create Azure Files with Azure AD (optionally with AD Authority endpoint):

IBlobStorage storage = StorageFactory.Blobs.AzureFilesWithAzureAd(accountName, tenantId, applicationId, applicationSecret);
IBlobStorage storage = StorageFactory.Blobs.AzureFilesWithAzureAd(accountName, tenantId, applicationId, applicationSecret, cloudEnvironment);
IBlobStorage storage = StorageFactory.Blobs.AzureFilesWithAzureAd(accountName, tenantId, applicationId, applicationSecret, activeDirectoryAuthEndpoint);
IBlobStorage storage = StorageFactory.Blobs.AzureFilesWithAzureAd(accountName, tenantId, applicationId, applicationSecret, activeDirectoryAuthEndpoint, cloudEnvironment);

To create Azure Files with Token Credentials:

IBlobStorage storage = StorageFactory.Blobs.AzureFilesWithTokenCredential(accountName, tokenCredential);
IBlobStorage storage = StorageFactory.Blobs.AzureFilesWithTokenCredential(accountName, tokenCredential, cloudEnvironment);

To create Azure Files with Managed Identity:

IBlobStorage storage = StorageFactory.Blobs.AzureFilesWithMsi(accountName);
IBlobStorage storage = StorageFactory.Blobs.AzureFilesWithMsi(accountName, cloudEnvironment);
IBlobStorage storage = StorageFactory.Blobs.AzureFilesWithMsi(accountName, clientId);
IBlobStorage storage = StorageFactory.Blobs.AzureFilesWithMsi(accountName, clientId, cloudEnvironment);

Connection Strings

To create with connection string, first register the module when your program starts by calling StorageFactory.Modules.UseAzureBlobStorage(); then use the following:

IBlobStorage storage = StorageFactory.Blobs.FromConnectionString("azure.file://account=account_name;key=secret_value");

To create an instance of Azure Files that wraps around the native SDK ShareServiceClient (use the native option with caution)

IBlobStorage storage = StorageFactory.Blobs.AzureFiles(client);

Native Operations

You can access some native, blob storage specific operations by casting (unsafe) IBlobStorage to IAzureBlobStorage.
