Sorry you hit this bug Miguel! We're tracking this issue and should have a fix for this very soon! By chance did you delete the storage resource that was created for you when first launching Cloud Shell?
Sander is correct in troubleshooting, could you:
1. Run "clouddrive unmount"
2. Restart Cloud Shell via restart icon or exit and relaunch
3. You should be prompted with the storage creation dialog again
Let me know if this works or not for you!

Apr 27, 2018Hello Justin!
I am having a bit of an issue with such when I run " Clouddrive unmount ", I receive the error:
Get-CloudDrive : A positional parameter cannot be found that accepts argument 'unmount'.
At line:1 char:1
+ clouddrive unmoint
+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+ CategoryInfo : InvalidArgument: (:) [Get-CloudDrive], ParameterBindingException
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : PositionalParameterNotFound,Get-CloudDrive
And I do to receive the same error here :
Warning: Failed to mount the Azure file share. Your cloud drive won't be available.
Your Cloud Shell session will be ephemeral so no files or system changes will persist beyond your current session.
VERBOSE: Authenticating to Azure ...
WARNING: Azure Authentication failed.
So I am unable to use correctly The Azure Cloud Shell,
Any help is greatly recieved

Apr 27, 2018Hey, sorry for the trouble could you provide some more info:
1. Could you confirm if you are using Bash or PowerShell in Cloud Shell?
Currently PowerShell in Cloud Shell uses a different syntax so instead of `clouddrive unmount` run `Dismount-clouddrive`
