Azure Files Manage Access is missing
Good day, We have fully and correctly configured an Azure File Share and the associated permissions. All required Azure RBAC roles as well as the necessary data plane permissions are assigned. However, we are observing inconsistent behavior in the Azure Portal regarding the “Manage access” buttons: At times, the “Manage access” buttons are visible: - In the top menu bar of the file share - In the context menu (three‑dot menu) of individual directories At other times, these buttons are not displayed at all, even though: - The same user with the same permissions is used - The same storage account and the same file share are accessed The behavior is sporadic and not reproducible in a controlled manner. Already verified: Required Azure RBAC roles are assigned Required permissions for Azure Files are correctly configured Permissions are effective and functional No error messages are shown in the Azure Portal when the buttons are missing A screenshot showing the state when the functionality was working is here. We would appreciate your support in investigating this issue.
DFS referral taget on Azure VM
Hello guys, I've a problem on DFS. I've two entries as a target folder on DFS namespace, I set the second target as "Last among all targets" so users should never be referred to this target unless all other targets are unavailable. I don't understand why randomly on this shared folder I find some files duplicated ending with the name of the both target server, so it means that second target server was used due to the first one was not available (I think) But I am not sure of this, so there are logs to find out what's happaned to the first target? and why these files was been created? thanks for your support.

Enable version-level immutability support
Hi, I have downnloaded azure sdk from https://github.com/Azure/azure-sdk-for-cpp. I need to set "Enable version-level immutability support" while creating container. But I cloud not find a way to set this option in c++ sdk. Could you help on this which API in c++ sdk to set the Version-level immutability? When I tried with azure cli, it says --enable-vlw is under review. az storage container-rm create --name sptestVersion --storage-account srinivasaraopcloud --resource-group 'QoreStor-Devs' --enable-vlw Argument '--enable-vlw' is in preview and under development.

I have found that Azure Files is unusable for large deployments due to the high cost of backups, especially for deployments with lots of small files. Most backup solutions have a changed block tracking mechanism and filter driver that can quickly determine what has changed between the prior backup. If nothing has changed since the last backup, the job quickly makes this determination and the backup job can take seconds to complete. But with Azure Backup backing up Azure Files, it appears to me that each backup has to enumerate every file and blob before making this determination. I first noticed this when I created a 1TB file share and nothing changed with the files from the prior backup and the job took 12 hours to complete. I then looked at my bill and it was $12 in read operations just for that backup where no files have changed. Azure Files is an awesome product, but securing your backups in a vault using Azure Backup just isn't doable from a price perspective. Does anyone know if there are changes on the horizon to Azure Backup in terms of a more robust change block tracking system?
Inherited VM data disk setup query
Hi there, I've inherited a VM in Azure: OS Premium SSD disk of 127GB 4 x 4095 GB Standard HDD In the VM the data drive totals 10.2TB with 7.6TB of space. I want to reduce the size but realize I can't, I'd have to create new smaller drives then move data to new drive letter in WIndows. My confusion is why are there four identically sized disks? Also how do they only total 10.2TB when in the Windows partition manager there is no unallocated space? Any suggestions if I've missed anything would be great. THank you.
Unable change the custom name in Azure share File URl
Hi all, I am trying to change the custom name in my Azure File Share URL from its current format (//<Storage Account Name>.file.core.windows.net/<file share name>) to desired format (//AFS/<file share name>) without having to do any changes in on-premises side. but unable to do this work. I would like to access Azure file share from on-premises system file explorer using (//AFS/<file share name>) URL. If any possibility is there, please let me know your feedback. Thanks
Azure file sync, avoid duplicate files
Hello guys, I've a share with 2 server endpoint with Cloud Tiering enabled in Azure file sync environment, unfortunately on this share are created duplicate files with the name of the server endpoint so it means that the same file are opened by users on both endpoint. My question is if it's possibile to set priority on these endpoint so the users can connect only to the first endpoint server unless this is unavailable then the second endpoint can be use. Or there are other method to avoid this duplicated files? thanks
Azure Logic App Creating multiple containers
Hi guys, I have a simple workflow in logic apps that reads data from library in sharepoint and then create the file inside of blob container. The problem is that a container is being created for each time the file is updated. So the logic app is creating the file normally but is also creating a new container with ID codes as a name. Has anyone experienced this before? ThanksStatus of uploading file
Hi, is it possible to get status of uploading file from blob storage? I have a case when user A is uploading large file to storage via SAS to myContainer/uploadingBlob. My server has information that someone wants to upload there but there is no way to directly tell that user is actually uploading anything there. Is it possible to get that information from storage? What if user cancels the upload?Enable Performance Plus for Azure Disk Storage
We want to take advantage of this additional perfromance and wanted to see if it's GA (General Availibility) ? I see that, it's been almost 1 year since introducing of this feature but still in public preview. We want to enable this for our production workload. Do we need to wait for GA or can we go-ahead with it. Need your gudiance at the earliest.
