Server Explorer in Visual Studio 2013 missing the Azure Storage node

I have Visual Studio 2012 and 2013 installed on my computer. I recently installed the Azure 2.5 SDK. In my old Visual Studio 2012, in Server Explorer, I see a Storage node like this:

Azure
  - Cloud Services
  - HDInsight
  - Notification Hubs
  - Service Bus
  - Storage              <-----  That's what I want
  - Virtual Machines
  - Web Sites

But in Visual Studio 2013, I see this:

Azure
  - HDInsight
  - Mobile Services
  - Notification Hubs
  - SQL Databases
  - Websites

I'm not sure if Microsoft intentionally reduced the choices, or I have something installed wrong, but I have the VS 2013 update 4 installed so I think I'm up to date.

I haven't found an easy way to update my CDN files on Azure without that Storage node. Anyone have any explanation for my missing Storage node?

I have VS 2013 (Update 4) and I can see storage node. Looks like your installation got messed up somehow. May I suggest that you reinstall/repair SDK installation. – Gaurav Mantri

I solve this issue on my system by

  1. In Programs/Uninstall: select 'Microsoft Azure Tools for Microsoft Visual Studio 2013…'
  2. Click 'Repair' Wait 3-4 min and that's done, no need to restart your pc
