Azure storage account, make the file public with public link to download file

Question

I have developed an app for a client with an azure database, I have never before worked with azure so I have no idea what I'm doing, I am using the .NETAutoUpdater package as the updater and require the update file to be a zip on a public link. Is there any to do this using Azure Storage Accounts --> Blobs and just make the blob public with a link? again I have no idea what I am doing in azure so any assistance will be appreciated

Answer 1

Yes, this is definitely possible. From the list of your blobs, click the grey dots at the end of the line and choose "Change access level".

Then change the access level to "Blob". Now open the blob container and select its properties view.

As you can see it shows an URL like https://yourapp.blob.core.windows.net/yourblobcontainer. Files that are placed in this container will be downloadable via that URL. E.g. if you have a file named foo.bar it'll be available at https://yourapp.blob.core.windows.net/yourblobcontainer/foo.bar.
