Files shares storage

• Share files with a set of machines or users
• Tiers
• Premium: requires premium storage account
• Transaction optimized: for lots of read/writes
• Hot: frequent access
• Cool: moderate access (transaction costs are higher on cooler tiers)

Connect

• The connect tab gives you commands to mount the drive into your local filesystem
• In order to connect, your machine must have firewall rules allowing access to port 445
