Azure Files or Backup : store encrypted files

I have a question regarding file storage : can I store a file that is been previously encrypted (like a ZIP file protected by a password for example) ? I have looked and I found nothing. Therefore, I think it is possible without side effect, but I have a doubt. The file won't be scannable by any anti-malware. So, can anybody tell me if ti allowed by Microsoft policies ?

Many thanks in advance

  • Microsoft has several Encryption solutions that allows for the use of your own keys. Based on that, I would say there is no requirement for them to access or scan files.
