How can we see how we are using our Microsoft Azure storage?

Fernando Jimenez 0

We have a lot of data stored in our Azure cloud storage and we can see how much storage we are using, but how can we further see specifics like which folder uses up more storage as we need a better breakdown of our storage use.

Hi @Fernando Jimenez,

To further breakdown your storage use and see which folders are using up more storage in your Azure cloud storage, you can use Azure Storage Explorer.

· Download and install Azure Storage Explorer from the official Microsoft website.

· Connect to your Azure account.

· Navigate to your storage account.

· Right-click on the container (which represents a folder in Azure Blob Storage) and select "Properties".

· In the Properties window, you will see the size of the container and the number of blobs it contains. This will give you an idea of which folders are using up more storage.

By following these steps in Azure Storage Explorer, you can get a better breakdown of your storage use and identify which folders are consuming more storage space. This can help you optimize your storage usage and manage your data more effectively.
