I have a file at a remote url such as http://www.site.com/docs/doc1.xls and i would like to copy that file onto my BLOB storage account. I am aware and know of uploading files to a BLOB storage but wasn't sure how this can be done for a file from remote URL. Try looking at CloudBlockBlob.StartCopyFromBlob that takes a URI if you are using the .NET client library. string accountName = "accountname"; string accountKey = "key"; string newFileName = "newfile2.png"; string destinationContainer = "destinationcontainer"; string sourceUrl = "http://www.site.com/docs/doc1.xls"; CloudStorageAccount csa

I've search here and in Google but I can't find a solution. With my C# code I want to read a file from Azure Storage Blob. The code (only 6 line) works very well in another project (Windows 8.1 Universal App) but not in my new Windows 10 UWP App. This is my code: CloudStorageAccount storageAccount = CloudStorageAccount.Parse(azureConnectionString); CloudBlobClient blobClient = storageAccount.CreateCloudBlobClient(); CloudBlobContainer container = blobClient.GetContainerReference("container-name"); CloudBlob b1 = container.GetBlobReference("27.76914.json"); StorageFile file = await

I'm developing an ASP.Net MVC 4 app and I'm using Azure Blob to store the images that my users are going to upload. I have the following code: var storageAccount = CloudStorageAccount.Parse(ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings["StorageConnection"].ConnectionString); var blobStorage = storageAccount.CreateCloudBlobClient(); //merchantKey is just a GUID that is asociated with the merchant var containerName = ("ImageAds-" + merchant.merchantKey.ToString()).ToLower(); CloudBlobContainer container = blobStorage.GetContainerReference(containerName); if (container.CreateIfNotExist()) { //Upload the

I have about 800k blobs in my azure storage. When I create azure function with a blobTrigger it starts to process all blobs that I have in the storage. How can I configure my function to be triggered only for new and updated blobs? There is no way to do this currently. Internally we track which blobs we have processed by storing receipts in our control container azure-webjobs-hosts . Any blob not having a receipt, or an old receipt (based on blob ETag) will be processed (or reprocessed). That's why your existing blobs are being processed - they don't have receipts. BlobTrigger is currently

As I recently started mingling around with Windows Azure , I've came up to a situation where, which one to go for between the Block Blob & Page Blob . I'm currently in progress of uploading some text, csv or dat files to a blob storage and then do a MapReduce program for it using my C# program. Yes I've gone through some articles such as article1 , article2 . But couldn't get a clear idea from them. To cut short, Block Blob vs Page Blob . Any help would be appreciated. The differences are very-well documented on msdn, here . TL;DR: Block blobs are for your discrete storage objects like jpg's,

Please correct my wrongs. From my reading on the topic so far, it appears to me that both, Azure Blob Storage and File Service offer the ability to store file(s) and folder(s) (I understand that blobs can store any binary object, but any serialized binary stream is just a file at the end of the day) in a hierarchical structure that mimics a file system. Only the API to access them are slightly different in that the File Service allows you to query the source using Win32 File I/O like functions as well in addition to using the REST API. Why would you choose one over another if you wanted your
