Answer 1

If you are using Storage Client library version 6.0.0, you can upgrade storage emulator to version 4.2 or above. It is available as part of Azure SDK 2.7.1 for .NET.

Answer 2

You will get this error if you're using Storage Client library version 6.0.0 with Storage Emulator as current version of Storage Emulator is not compatible with the latest version of Storage Client library.

You could do 2 things:

1. Use older version of storage client library e.g. https://www.nuget.org/packages/WindowsAzure.Storage/5.0.2.
2. Use a Cloud Storage Account instead of development storage account.
