Is it possible to open Azure Storage Explorer using direct link with SAS token?

Question

When i want to launch Azure Storage Explorer using direct link what i do is copy it from app and pasting to my browser. It looks somethig like that:

storageexplorer:// ... and there are subId, AccountId etc

My question is, is it possible to produce uri like above using SAS token to open concrete container from my web browser using Azure Storage Explorer?

Answer 1

I'm from the Microsoft for Founders Hub team. With this connection method, you'll use a SAS URI for the required storage account. You'll need a SAS URI whether you want to use a file share, table, queue, or blob container. You can get a SAS URI either from the Azure portal or from Storage Explorer. To add a SAS connection:

1. Open Storage Explorer.
2. Connect to your Azure storage account.
3. Select the connection type: shared access signature (SAS) URI.
4. Provide a meaningful name for the connection.
5. When you're prompted, provide the SAS URI.
6. Review and verify the connection details, and then select Connect.

When you've added a connection, it appears in the resource tree as a new node. You'll find the connection node in this branch: Local & attached > Storage Accounts > Attached Container > Service.
