Azure Shared Access Signature (SAS) with client tool (Cloudberry or Azure Storage Explorer)

Question

After generating SAS for an Azure Storage Container, when using it in Cloudberry or Azure Storage explorer tool, a base64 error is shown.

My question is can a Shared Access Signature for a container be used in client tools like Cloudberry or Azure Storage explorer?

Answer 1

No. AFAIK, all the client tools today support managing storage accounts using account name/key with the exception of ClumsyLeaf CloudXplorer. You can give that a try.

Answer 2

In 2020, SAS connection is also supported by Microsoft Azure Storage Explorer.

If anyone trying to solve 'ACL on azure storage' in your company without having full Azure AD - for now you're just going to have to get inventive with managing those connection keys, but this platform keeps evolving so keep an eye on the space.
