Connections

Connection String

Authenticates requests to Azure Blob Sotrage with a connection string.

You can also grant limited access to your Azure Storage Resources using Shared Access Signatures (SAS) authentication, which involves an access token.
You can obtain a connection string containing an SAS token from the Azure Portal.
Keep in mind this token will eventually expire. Make sure to configure an expiration date you will remember, so you can manually refresh the token at a later date.

Input Comments Default
