How do I upload some file into Azure blob storage without writing my own program?

I created an Azure Storage account. I have a 400 megabytes .zip file that I want to put into blob storage for later use.

How can I do that without writing code? Is there some interface for that?

Which command upload files to a storage blob?

You can upload files and directories to Blob storage by using the AzCopy v10 command-line utility.

How do I upload to Azure Blob Storage from my frontend?

Run project locally to verify connection to Storage account. Your SAS token and storage account name are set in the src/azure-storage-blob. ts file, so you are ready to run the application. Select an image from the images folder to upload then select the Upload!

Free tools:

  1. Visual Studio 2010 -- install Azure tools and you can find the blobs in the Server Explorer
  2. Cloud Berry Lab's CloudBerry Explorer for Azure Blob Storage
  3. ClumpsyLeaf CloudXplorer
  4. Azure Storage Explorer from CodePlex (try version 4 beta)

There was an old program called Azure Blob Explorer or something that no longer works with the new Azure SDK.

Out of these, I personally like CloudBerry Explorer the best.

The easiest way is to use Azure Storage PowerShell. It provided many commands to manage your storage container/blob/table/queue.

For your mentioned case, you could use Set-AzureStorageBlobContent which could upload a local file into azure storage as a block blob or page blob.

Set-AzureStorageBlobContent -Container containerName -File .\filename -Blob blobname
