1. Easy to create Azure Storages and files as required

2. Easy to download data files

3. Low prices

4. High Durability than other competators

5. Higher performance Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

1. Documentation is little messy

2. Tracking all files and documents are little concerned in Azure file Storage

3. Pricing start when you have enterprise level subscriptions

4. Cant view files larger than 2MB size. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Azure File Storage has been reliable since day 1, with no down time, which is very important. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The technical setup to use Azure File Storage was quite perplexing, and we had to have an expert help us set it up. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

You can cache shared shares of Azure files on Windows computers.

Create file shares in the cloud, without having to manage the overhead of a physical server or device. The most monotonous work is done automatically

Unable to create Azure file shares from storage accounts that are only for blobs or from premium storage accounts.

The fsutil reparsepoint utility command can also delete a recurrence point of analysis.

It is a very new program that is still in beta, it fails a lot and it hangs, it closes unexpectedly and sometimes it leaves your computer blocked for a few minutes. Besides, I realize that the price is quite high for the functions it has.

File storage is very common thing that we know as network shares in our in-premise infrastructure. Cloud version is using SMB protocol and can be managed though Azure portal. Shares can be accessed by using storage access key and URL or integrated with Azure virtual networks, so these will be accessible by virtual machines within desired subnets. As a regular shares, these could be mounted as network disks and used just like your shared location in datacenter, the only difference that you does not need to manage the servers hosting this shares, Azure will take care of it. Different redundancy options allows keeps you safe from additional costs for not important data, as well as loosing critical files in case of Azure datacenter outage. File service has very affordable price, and you only charged for actually used space, but not for all share capasity Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Hard to access the shares from non-Azure locations, this is actually very secure, but not very comfortable. Access keys requires extra attention to keep you data secure. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

File Storage provides basic functionality of File Server utilizing SMB 3.0 protocol. You can create file shares, control quotas for these and attach this shares as network drive to any virtual machine, just like it is working on-premises with file server. The only difference that you don`t need separate server, and don`t have to pay for the service itself, you are charged only for data stored on these shares. So if you have a share with 500GB quota and storing only 50MB there, you will be charged for 50MB. And storage costs in Azure is very low. It also provides great file transfer speed between the share and Azure virtual machines, much faster that even SSD based file server. It can provide desired level of redundancy for you files, so even in case of some availability issues in Azure sitem files will remain available at least for read purposes Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Nothing in my mind. Maybe that you should not use these shares with on-premise resouces, unless you are using ExpressRoute and MPLS circuit for connection. Speed will not you happy in this case Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

File Storage allows you to create file shares using SMB 3.0 protocol. Flexible access control with Shared Access Signatures and ability to mount shares as network drives allows you to skip creation of additional expensive virtual machines as file servers. Shares could be accessed with 'net use' or Azure Storage Explorer tool. You can limit your storage usage by setting up quotas for each share. Great speed when accessing these from Azure resources in the same region. Low storage costs Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

hard to access these from other Azure regions or outside of Azure. Downloading files to on-prem locations will consume outbound azure traffic that you will be charged for Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Safe and secured to store your documents and files , i really love it becuase i can store my files and access them anywhere, very realible no need to bring extra harddrives, you can easily share or send files from collegues Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

None! The storage is enough for 1 TB of file is enough. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like the ease of access to your files- comes in super handy to access whether switching machines or just newtorks Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Some of my older colleagues are often confused by it - however I believe this is just because they are used to older software Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
