What is Azure Storage Explorer?

Microsoft Azure Storage Explorer is a free, standalone application from Microsoft that enables users to easily manage Azure cloud storage resources across platforms, including Windows, macOS, and Linux. It provides a graphical interface to work with Azure Blob storage, Azure Data Lake Storage, Azure Files, queues, and tables without needing to write code. Users can connect to storage accounts using Azure credentials, perform operations like uploading, downloading, and deleting files, manage access policies, and generate shared access signatures (SAS) for secure resource sharing.

The tool supports advanced features such as searching across containers, copying data between storage accounts, and integrating with Azure Cosmos DB for NoSQL data. Ideal for developers, administrators, and IT professionals, Azure Storage Explorer simplifies complex storage tasks, enhances productivity, and ensures efficient data management in hybrid and multi-cloud environments.
