Download Microsoft Azure Storage Explorer - Easily manage blobs, blob containers, tables and queues and other types of Azure Storage data with the help of this Microsoft-vetted application.
In this quickstart, you learn how to use Azure Storage Explorer to create a container and a blob. Next, you learn how to download the blob to your local computer, and how to view all of the blobs in a container. You also learn how to create a snapshot of a blob, manage container access policies, and create a shared access signature.
Prerequisites
Download Microsoft Azure Data Explorer
To access Azure Storage, you'll need an Azure subscription. If you don't already have a subscription, create a free account before you begin.
All access to Azure Storage takes place through a storage account. For this quickstart, create a storage account using the Azure portal, Azure PowerShell, or Azure CLI. For help creating a storage account, see Create a storage account.
This quickstart requires that you install Azure Storage Explorer. To install Azure Storage Explorer for Windows, Macintosh, or Linux, see Azure Storage Explorer.
Log in to Storage Explorer
On first launch, the Microsoft Azure Storage Explorer - Connect window is shown. Storage Explorer provides several ways to connect to storage accounts. The following table lists the different ways you can connect:
| Task | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Add an Azure Account | Redirects you to your organization's sign-in page to authenticate you to Azure. |
| Use a connection string or shared access signature URI | Can be used to directly access a container or storage account with a SAS token or a shared connection string. |
| Use a storage account name and key | Use the storage account name and key of your storage account to connect to Azure storage. |
Select Add an Azure Account and click Sign in.. Follow the on-screen prompts to sign into your Azure account.
When it completes connecting, Azure Storage Explorer loads with the Explorer tab shown. This view gives you insight to all of your Azure storage accounts as well as local storage configured through the Azurite storage emulator, Cosmos DB accounts, or Azure Stack environments.
Create a container
Blobs are always uploaded into a container. This allows you to organize groups of blobs like you organize your files on your computer in folders.
To create a container, expand the storage account you created in the proceeding step. Select Blob Containers, right-click and select Create Blob Container. Enter the name for your blob container. See the Create a container section for a list of rules and restrictions on naming blob containers. When complete, press Enter to create the blob container. Once the blob container has been successfully created, it is displayed under the Blob Containers folder for the selected storage account.
Upload blobs to the container
Blob storage supports block blobs, append blobs, and page blobs. VHD files used to back IaaS VMs are page blobs. Append blobs are used for logging, such as when you want to write to a file and then keep adding more information. Most files stored in Blob storage are block blobs.
On the container ribbon, select Upload. This operation gives you the option to upload a folder or a file.
Choose the files or folder to upload. Select the blob type. Acceptable choices are Append, Page, or Block blob.
If uploading a .vhd or .vhdx file, choose Upload .vhd/.vhdx files as page blobs (recommended).
In the Upload to folder (optional) field either a folder name to store the files or folders in a folder under the container. If no folder is chosen, the files are uploaded directly under the container.
Cool fonts for google slides. When you select OK, the files selected are queued to upload, each file is uploaded. When the upload is complete, the results are shown in the Activities window.
View blobs in a container
In the Azure Storage Explorer application, select a container under a storage account. The main pane shows a list of the blobs in the selected container.
Download blobs
To download blobs using Azure Storage Explorer, with a blob selected, select Download from the ribbon. A file dialog opens and provides you the ability to enter a file name. Select Save to start the download of a blob to the local location.
Manage snapshots
Azure Storage Explorer provides the capability to take and manage snapshots of your blobs. To take a snapshot of a blob, right-click the blob and select Create Snapshot. To view snapshots for a blob, right-click the blob and select Manage Snapshots. A list of the snapshots for the blob are shown in the current tab.
Manage access policies
Storage Explorer provides the ability to manage access policies for containers within its user interface. There are two types of secure access policies (SAS), service level and account level. Account level SAS targets the storage account and can apply to multiple services and resources. Service level SAS are defined on a resource under a particular service. To generate a service level SAS, right-click any container and select Manage Access Policies... To generate an account level SAS, right-click on the storage account.
Select Add to add a new access policy and define the permissions for the policy. When complete select Save to save the access policy. This policy is now available for use when configuring a Shared Access Signature.
Work with Shared Access Signatures
Shared Access Signatures (SAS) can be retrieved through Storage Explorer. Right-click a storage account, container, or blob and choose Get Shared Access Signature... Choose the start and expiry time, and permissions for the SAS URL and select Create. The full URL with the query string as well as the query string by itself are provided and can be copied from the next screen.

In this quickstart, you learned how to transfer files between a local disk and Azure Blob storage using Azure Storage Explorer. To learn more about working with Blob storage, continue to the Blob storage How-to.
-->The Azure IoT explorer is a graphical tool for interacting with and devices connected to your IoT hub. This article focuses on using the tool to test your IoT Plug and Play devices. After installing the tool on your local machine, you can use it to connect to a hub. You can use the tool to view the telemetry the devices are sending, work with device properties, and invoke commands.
This article shows you how to:
- Install and configure the Azure IoT explorer tool.
- Use the tool to interact with and test your IoT Plug and Play devices.
For more general information about using the tool, see the GitHub readme.
To use the Azure IoT explorer tool, you need:
- An Azure IoT hub. There are many ways to add an IoT hub to your Azure subscription, such as Creating an IoT hub by using the Azure CLI. You need the IoT hub connection string to run the Azure IoT explorer tool. If you don't have an Azure subscription, create a free account before you begin.
- A device registered in your IoT hub. You can use IoT Explorer to create and manage device registrations in your IoT Hub.
Install Azure IoT explorer
Go to Azure IoT explorer releases and expand the list of assets for the most recent release. Download and install the most recent version of the application.
Important
Update to version 0.13.x to resolve models from any repository based on https://github.com/Azure/iot-plugandplay-models
Use Azure IoT explorer
For a device, you can either connect your own device, or use one of the sample simulated devices. For some example simulated devices written in different languages, see the Connect a sample IoT Plug and Play device application to IoT Hub quickstart.
Connect to your hub
The first time you run Azure IoT explorer, you're prompted for your IoT hub's connection string. After you add the connection string, select Connect. You can use the tool's settings to switch to another IoT hub by updating the connection string.
The model definition for an IoT Plug and Play device is stored in either the public repository, the connected device, or a local folder. By default, the tool looks for your model definition in the public repository and your connected device. You can add and remove sources, or configure the priority of the sources in Settings:
To add a source:
- Go to Home/IoT Plug and Play Settings
