Where are files created in Azure Shell text editor located in Azure Portal?

1k views Asked by At

I wonder where are the files saved in Azure Shell text editor located in Azure Portal? In my understanding, when I lunched Azure Shell the very 1st time, a Storage Account and cloud-shell-storage-(region) Resource Group were automatically created for me in Azure Resources. But, when I open cloud-shell-storage-(region) Resource Group in Azure Portal and go to Storage Explorer (preview)/FILE SHARES, I don't see any files that I previously saved in Azure Shell text editor. At the same time, I run ls command in Azure Shell and I can see them all. Is it possible to see those files from Azure Portal at all?

Only the files located in /home/username/clouddrive directory can be seen in the storage file share, the files you stored in /home/username will be stored in the img file e.g. acc_joy.img in the .cloudconsole directory of your file share, you cannot see them.

So if you want to access the file in the file share, you need to store your file in the /home/username/clouddrive, follow the steps below.

Sample:

1.Run cd ./clouddrive/ to go the clouddrive.

2.Run code testfile.txt, the testfile.txt is the file you want to create and store, then the cloud shell will open the editor for you, you could input your stuff, then Save it.

3.Then go to your storage file share, you will find the file is existing.

It also can be available in Storage Explorer (preview).
