but having below error:

The server failed to authenticate the request. Make sure the value of Authorization header is formed correctly including the signature.

From where you're running the code? Two things you should check: 1) Account key you're using is correct and 2) Clock on the machine from where you're running the code is correctly set. — Gaurav Mantri

You haven't the right format for the account-key argument. Here is what you have to do according to the microsoft documentation ( https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/storage/files/storage-how-to-create-file-share?tabs=azure-cli ). For your information, I use CLI in PowerShell.

1) Retrieve the key with the right format

$key1 = az storage account keys list --account-name storeactjan --query "[0].value" | tr -d '"'

2) Create your file share

az storage share create --account-name storeactjan --name filesharejan --account-key $key1

Hope it will help you.
