Microsoft Azur: how do I change my blob object in Archive?

Question

Hi,
According this guide, I should see in my Blob properties an option to change Change tier to Archive. But I only have info about last modification, ETAG, lease status... Nothin editable and nothing about changing tier.

Do you know why?
Thanks

Answer 1

Right click on blob and you should see Change tier option.

Edit #1 -

In which region do you have the storage account? Check below site to see if Archive storage is available in your region.

Hello,
As Archive Storage Tier is only available for individual blobs it enables tier selection on Blob level for the old existing hot or cold tier also. When you create the storage account, you can select between Hot or Cool tier only and cannot set to Archive tier. After uploading the files, blob properties from Azure portal will allow you to select a blob and change its tier to Hot/Cool/Archive.

If you need to change the tier of entire blob, following instructions will help out

1. Sign in to the Azure portal.
2. To navigate to your blob in your storage account, select All Resources, select your storage account, select your container, and then select your blob.
3. In the Blob properties, click the Access tier dropdown menu to select the Hot, Cool, or Archive storage tier.
4. Click Save to save the changes
