I want this header to be there on every file served from azure blob storage. Their documentation says it can be set, but they don't explain how. Even the support engineers at Microsoft are not aware of this. Can someone help me this. Screenshots would be great .

I am using paperclip gem to handle the file creation with azure-sdk

Can you tell if you’re using any SDK? – Gaurav Mantri
i want to know if it can setup from azure rather than using sdk or programatic setup, because i recently migrated from AWS to Azure – Sandeep Vattapparambil
You can use Microsoft Storage Explorer to set the content disposition property on the blob. – Gaurav Mantri

Updated 0707:

If you visit the blob via its public url from browser, the default version of blob rest api is 2009-09-19.

If you want to see the blob properties in the response, you should specify the version of blob rest api to 2019-12-12.

Here is a test with postman, and specify the version to 2019-12-12:

You can set this property via Azure Storage Explorer, please follow this article to download and learn how to use it.

Here is a screenshot of how to set it via Azure Storage Explorer(right click on the blob -> select properties, then you can set it):

If you don't want to download this tool, you can nav to azure portal -> the storage account -> and on the left blade, click on "Storage Explorer(preview)" -> then you can set the property:
