I have been using azure storage explorer since 9 months. Being an Cloud Engineer I absolutely love how this tool on your local machine works exactly as the azure portal interface. You can download very big files in just few seconds. You do not have to login to portal each time to upload files to your blob. You can just do it from your local machine just giving your one time credentials. You can see all your storage account names in the left side pane for easy access to each blob.

One thing that comes to mind is frequent updates reminder. Every alternate day I see an reminder asking to update the azure storage explorer version. Although it is not very annoying to see the updates, I think Microsoft should inform the users what the update is about. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is very easy to install on the desktop machine and performs a lot of operations related to Azure storage.

Managing storage accounts is a lot simpler with the use of Azure Storage Explorer.

Being a DBA, I use the snapshot feature a lot and this tool is very efficient while managing snapshots.

The Azcopy works just well and is a time savior. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

No cons available for the tool.

Microsoft is working hard with the product and release bi weekly updates with bug fixes as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

An easy to use tool for exploring all the storage accounts that exist in a subscription. Provide detailed information about the contents of the selected Blob container, File shares, Queues and Tables. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There is nothing bad about the tool. Microsoft has been releasing regular updates with fixes and new features like in the version 1.5.0, one can now use AzCopy v10 (Preview) for uploading and downloading Blobs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It works really well with both public Azure Environment (PAE) and private Azure Stack also. Queue storage helps a lot. Azure Storage Explorer can audit or track each SaS (shared access signature). It gets Quick updates support system is really well. The most important feature is like most is just drag and drop way. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Multiple accounts make it messy to work. Have to care manually about the things before switching. Commandline interface works more firmly than this, on low-end devices. Many times have to access the Azure web portal for some tasks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The user-friendly interface was easy to learn how to navigate. The Ribbon bar buttons are clearly labeled. Additionally the Help documentation is actually helpful and easy to access and use while in application. I also like the information about new Releases available for download that is given as soon as I open the application. It is easy to navigate and identify what I am looking for and open.

When I try to resize the columns when viewing a file they auto size to the size of the data in the column, I'm guessing that it really wouldn't be easy to word wrap long file names or date/times. I am very new to using the Storage Explorer, so the Create Snapshot functionality had to be explained to me by one of our developers before I was clear about the purpose.

There's very little not to like, it does what it says on the tin and does it well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Storage Explorer allows you working with Azure storage account in way similar that it was on Norton Commander in MS-DOS, you can download and upload files to blob and file storage, copy files between storage account and control access. You can easily create Shared Access Signatures and set Storage Access level. Latest version also allows creation of snapshots of file shares and switch views based on these. Preview functions alows you to connect to Azure Data Lake Store and even Cosmos DB. It works with both public Azure Environment and private solutions like Azure Stack. Allows connection to multiple storage accounts and perform file operations across these. Very simple in installations and usage. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Does not support ADFS accounts to log on, users could be authenticated only in Azure AD. This makes some limitations in implementing storage explorer widely. No option to create new storage account from it, you need to go to Azure portal Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

in our company we use azure to manage our storage and we have always found it to be an excellent tool that optimizes work and increases productivity with an organized work environment. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There is nothing that I dislike of blue, however, what I would add would be more documentation or tutorials. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Very simple tool to manually manage all aspects of your storage accounts. You can upload and download files to blob containers and file shares, edit data in queue storage and manage messages in queues. You can control access to your resources and create SAS tokens directly from Storage Explorer. You can manage snapshots of your files and create storage structure. It is very easy to start working, I had to spend several minutes to be able to control my storage. Preview functions allow integration with even more Azure resources.

Nothing critical, but maybe including storage management automation tasks could be a good idea. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
