[newbie] Can I access files in a given storage account via the Azure Cloud Shell CLI filesystem?
Can I access "these" files "there", or are the filesystems completely separate? Or is there a CLI command to link the two?
Thanks in advance for any insight you can provide.
Yes you can but not directly through Cloud Shell's native filesystem:
1. Use Azure CLI to connect to the storage account:
az storage account show --name <yourStorageAccount> --resource-group <yourResourceGroup>
2. List containers or blobs:
az storage container list --account-name <yourStorageAccount>
az storage blob list --account-name <yourStorageAccount> --container-name <yourContainer>
3. Download or upload files:
az storage blob download --account-name <yourStorageAccount> --container-name <yourContainer> --name <blobName> --file <localFilePath>
az storage blob upload --account-name <yourStorageAccount> --container-name <yourContainer> --name <blobName> --file <localFilePath>
4. Mount a file share (if using Azure Files):
az storage share list --account-name <yourStorageAccount>
