Azure File Storage

  • Reference

Microsoft Azure Storage provides a massively scalable, durable, and highly available storage for data on the cloud, and serves as the data storage solution for modern applications. Connect to File Storage to perform various operations such as create, update, get and delete on files in your Azure Storage account.

This connector is available in the following products and regions:

Service Class Regions
Logic Apps Standard All Logic Apps regions and Integration Service Environments (ISEs)
Power Automate Premium All Power Automate regions
Power Apps Premium All Power Apps regions

Actions that support chunking feature.

These actions can be used to handle files up to 300MB. The feature is enabled by default.

Known issues and limitations

  1. Logic apps can't directly access storage accounts that are behind firewalls if they're both in the same region. As a workaround, you can have your logic apps and storage account in different regions. For more information about enabling access from Azure Logic Apps to storage accounts behind firewalls, see the Access storage accounts behind firewalls

Connect to Azure File connector using file endpoint

  • Enter the full Azure Storage file endpoint on Azure Storage account name or file endpoint parameter.

  • You must provide the full endpoint, including the schema, for example:

    • https://account.file.core.windows.net/
    • https://account-secondary.file.core.windows.net/ (if connecting to the secondary endpoint)
    • Relative URLs (for example, account.file.core.windows.net) will be rejected.

There are multiple ways to get this file endpoint:

  • Using Azure portal

    1. On Microsoft Azure, navigate to the Azure Storage account you wish to connect
    2. Under Settings section (left blade), click on Endpoints
    3. The file endpoint will be under File service, on the file service text box.

  • Using Storage Accounts - Get Properties REST API call

    1. Get the Azure Storage account subscription Id and resource group name.
    2. Navigate to Storage Accounts - Get Properties
    3. Click on the Try it button on the top right corner of the HTTP call
    4. Sign in (the user should have access to the storage account)
    5. Choose the Azure tenant the Azure Storage account is located on
    6. Enter the Azure Storage's account name, resource group name, and select the subscription the storage account is located on
    7. Click Run
    8. The file endpoint will be on file property under primaryEndpoints object on the response
