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

It is not possible to directly rename or shorten the Azure File Share URL (e.g., \\.file.core.windows.net\) to a custom format such as \\AFS\ without implementing changes in the on‑premises environment. Microsoft mandates the use of the storage account’s fully qualified domain name (FQDN). To achieve a custom naming convention, the supported approach is to configure DNS or leverage Azure Private Endpoints in conjunction with custom DNS records.
