Azure Files Manage Access is missing
Good day, We have fully and correctly configured an Azure File Share and the associated permissions. All required Azure RBAC roles as well as the necessary data plane permissions are assigned. However, we are observing inconsistent behavior in the Azure Portal regarding the “Manage access” buttons: At times, the “Manage access” buttons are visible: - In the top menu bar of the file share - In the context menu (three‑dot menu) of individual directories At other times, these buttons are not displayed at all, even though: - The same user with the same permissions is used - The same storage account and the same file share are accessed The behavior is sporadic and not reproducible in a controlled manner. Already verified: Required Azure RBAC roles are assigned Required permissions for Azure Files are correctly configured Permissions are effective and functional No error messages are shown in the Azure Portal when the buttons are missing A screenshot showing the state when the functionality was working is here. We would appreciate your support in investigating this issue.
Backing up Azure Files - High cost Read operations
I have found that Azure Files is unusable for large deployments due to the high cost of backups, especially for deployments with lots of small files. Most backup solutions have a changed block tracking mechanism and filter driver that can quickly determine what has changed between the prior backup. If nothing has changed since the last backup, the job quickly makes this determination and the backup job can take seconds to complete. But with Azure Backup backing up Azure Files, it appears to me that each backup has to enumerate every file and blob before making this determination. I first noticed this when I created a 1TB file share and nothing changed with the files from the prior backup and the job took 12 hours to complete. I then looked at my bill and it was $12 in read operations just for that backup where no files have changed. Azure Files is an awesome product, but securing your backups in a vault using Azure Backup just isn't doable from a price perspective. Does anyone know if there are changes on the horizon to Azure Backup in terms of a more robust change block tracking system?Enable ADDS authetication fails

Azure Storage Container - Soft Delete Monitoring
Hi All, Can someone let me know if there is a way to export all the soft deleted items in my container on a daily basis into a csv or any file format I could connect PBI with? I want to monitor all Active and Soft Deleted items on a Power Bi report I have created and at this moment I can't seem to find a way to get a list of all the items that have been deleted.. Thanks
Can an azure blob with malware infect other blobs in the storage account?
Hi, I need to know whether it can be infected to other blobs or files if I accidently uploaded a malware into azure storage account or all the blobs are isolated from each other. If it can be infected, does it infect the blob/files only within the container or to the entire storage account?
Secure transfer for NFS file shares
Our development team uses Azure file shares for it's AKS container mounted storage but have been juggling between using SMB and NFS protocols. While SMB provides the "Secure transfer" feature in Azure, we'd prefer not to use it as it would then make any mounted files case-insensitive when accessing from the web. Are there any plans to add the "Secure transfer" option for NFS file shares? The only documentation I could find on this is from https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/storage/files/storage-files-networking-overview#secure-transfer and https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/storage/files/storage-troubleshooting-files-nfs#cause-2-secure-transfer-required-is-enabled where it says it's not available "yet" so I'm wondering if this is something that will be coming in the future. Thanks!
Azure File Sync dispalying thumbnails issue
Does anyone know if 1) there is a workaround to displaying thumbnails of image files that are tiered? 2) If this is on the Azure File Sync roadmap? It's such a big problem for us especially for the marketing and design teams who work with a large number of image files, as they can only see the thumbnail if the file is cached on the on-premise azure file sync server. Also I remember a while back i could add feature suggestions for Azure File Sync which can be voted on by other users. But i cannot find the Microsoft site for love nore money. Many thanksAzure file-sync with cloud tiering hot and cold change
Greetings, we want to activate an Azure file sharing with cloud tiering for our lokal store and cloud store. But the "problem" is that we want our lokal store as the hot store and the cloud only as the cold store. You can say the cloud store only have to work as a proxy to our lokal fileserver via Internet. Is this possible? thanx an regards, Bratacc
Use Dynamic Access Control (DAC) for Azure Files
I wanted to ask whether it would be possible to use the (Windoeser server) Dynamic Access Control technology for an Azure Files? In many companies these days, project groups are constantly being reshuffled and the file permissions should still be automatically and dynamically regulated, e.g. with the help of DAC, without the administrators having to manually update the AD groups again and again.
