How to setup Sharepoint site to use Azure blob storage
Looking for advice for the following scenario: We have some 5 TB of data currently hosted on Box.com that we would like to migrate to Azure blob storage. We need some sort of content management system in front of the storage to make it easier to access, view, manage the files and are considering Sharepoint. Is it possible to setup a Sharepoint site with the files being stored on Azure blob storage? What considerations do we need to think about to plan this out effectively? Thank you, Shahab
- To setup SharePoint site to use Azure blob storage
To understand your question, you would like to use SharePoint as front-end and Azure Blob for storage.

Sina Shahab Mushtaq I do not know the use case, but you could use SharePoint 2019 in Azure. Users get USL (User Subscription License) with Office 365, you would only need to license the Windows/SharePoint servers. You could use Metalogix/Quest Storage Point. Then the specific use case you need the Blob storage, use SharePoint 2019 and everything else to SharePoint Online.
- Unfortunately, SPO does not provide support to use Azure Blob Storage
- Thank you for the reply Juan. Does Sharepoint support any type of file storage in Azure?
- AFAIK, the answer is no
