Azure Storage Explorer not connecting to Azurite local emulator

Question

Context: I've successfully installed Azurite, a local emulator (via the Visual Studio Code extension) and Azure Storage Explorer. I've also successfully placed a parquet file in the blob directory, started blob service in Azurite and confirmed in VSC that the file is there.

Question: When I try to connect to the emulator from Azure Storage Explorer, I don't see the parquet file. What am I doing wrong? Why do I not see the parquet file under either of the blob containers in ASE yet the file shows in VSC?

Answer 1

Actually the parquet file you put is invalid.

Because __blobstorage__ directory did not store your containers and blobs, refer to:

blobstorage - Directory containing Azurite blob service persisted binary data

As we can see, you have connected to your azurite successfully. Just upload your file using Storage Explorer.

Answer 2

Try to access through the local connection string.

<add key="StorageConnectionString" value="UseDevelopmentStorage=true" />
