How do I access Azure Storage "(Classic)" from an Azure Function

Question

When accessing Azure storage from inside the function "Integrations" tab, it appears that it is only possible to link to a "new" storage account not a storage account that it listed as "(Classic)".

I have verified that the "(Classic)" storage account I want to connect with IS in the same region as the Azure App Service and Function that I am working with so it should appear but it does not.

How do I connect a function to a "(Classic)" Azure Storage account?

Answer 1

The UI storage picker does not show Classic accounts. However, you could achieve the same manually:

• create a new App Setting in your Web App pointing to the connection string to your Classic account
• In the Integrate tab, go to raw view and set "connection": "YOURCONNECTIONNAME" in the binding.
