What is Azure Files?

Take advantage of fully managed cloud-based file shares that can be accessed via the commonly used Server Message Block (SMB) protocol. These file shares can be mounted concurrently in the cloud or on local devices operating Windows, Linux, and macOS. To enhance local access speed, consider utilizing Azure File Sync to cache Azure file shares on Windows Servers. For tasks that demand high performance and are IO-intensive, choosing premium shares is advisable, whereas standard shares are well-suited for reliable and routine file storage requirements. This variety in storage solutions empowers users to customize their options according to the unique demands of their workloads, ensuring efficiency and effectiveness in data management. Furthermore, this adaptability in storage allows for seamless integration with existing systems, enhancing overall productivity.
