"Simple tool for ad-hoc storage management"
5/5
What do you like best about Azure Storage Explorer?

Very useful when you just need to quickly download or upload small amount of files to Azure Storage. It works much faster than Azure portal and allows you to fully manage storage accounts regardless of its type. You can easily manage BLOB and File storage as well as Tables and queues. Preview features also allow you to work with NoSQL databases and data lakes. In addition to managing the content of your storage accounts, you can also control access by creating shared access signatures. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Azure Storage Explorer?

Not very easy bulk operations with files, you'd better rely on PowerShell for this. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
