I've installed Visual Studio 2015 and cloned a repo from my Visual Studio Online account. Originally the code was written with Visual Studio 2013 and with that environment I could see my Azure Storage Account (i.e. Tables, Queues and Blobs) under the Azure connection section on the Server Explorer. However with Visual Studio 2015 I can see the Azure connection section which includes App Service, Mobile Service, Notification Hubs and SQL Database but no Storage.
Any ideas?
If you have virtual machines hosted by Azure, you can access them in Server Explorer. You must first sign in to your Azure subscription to view your mobile services. To sign in, open the shortcut menu for the Azure node in Server Explorer, and choose Connect to Microsoft Azure.
Use Azure Storage Explorer Launch Microsoft Azure Storage Explorer. To bring up the Sign in to your account... wizard, select Azure account settings icon, then Add an account and enter you credentials. To bring up the Connect to Azure Storage wizard, select the Connect to Azure Storage icon.
Press Ctrl+Q (or use the Search button in the Visual Studio IDE to the right of the main menu bar). In Feature search, enter Azure Storage , and choose Azure Storage - Project > Connected Services > Add > Azure Storage. In the Connect to Dependency page, select Azure Storage, and then click Next.
I ran into the same problem. I decided to upgrade to the latest as of now Azure SDK 2.7. This fixed my server explorer panel and also added in a new panel called Cloud Explorer. This will hopefully get you going. Here is the link:
