Answer 1

Ir your debugging locally, but connecting to a remote azure storage and get this error check that your AzureWebJobsStorage string is up to date in your local.settings.json. Seems there are multiple reasons why this can happen and this is one of them.

Answer 2

I had the same error. Storage connection worked when debugging locally but didn't work when deployed on Azure App Service. I had deleted a storage account with same name a bit earlier and recreated it on different Azure subscription. Could there be a bug in Azure, such that even though the resource name was made available again, it was not "freed correctly" inside Azure whatever that means?

When I created a storage account with a different name, I didn't get the error anymore.
