The first thing to be done when running the application for the first time is adding an Azure storage account which is to be monitored.
Storage Explorer supports working with multiple storage accounts that can also be development storage.
After adding an account, the storage and its content will be shown in the pane on the left. There are three types of stored data in Azure storage: blobs, queues and tables and you can easily switch from one data type to another by clicking on the links below.
Azure Storage Explorer allows handling of blobs, blob containers, queues, queue messages, entities and tables. All storage data can be viewed, created, copied, renamed, and deleted with great ease and efficiency. For example, a blob’s properties can be viewed by double clicking the item in the list.
The properties shown offer a better description and explanation of the data along with the editing option.
Very intuitive organization of the storage content and many options for data handling are some of the key features of Azure Storage Explorer and that’s why it is a useful tool which makes the development process a little bit easier.
