How to Upload file in root level of azure storage account.

Question

We are using Azure storage explorer and Azure portal to upload files in Azure blob container in storage account.

Our requirement is to upload files at root level of storage account. We have storage account testlab and the URL is https://testlab.blob.core.windows.net .

We want to upload file under root level so the url should be like https://testlab.blob.core.windows.net/myfilename.txt

But we have only option to upload files inside blob container .

example: https://testlab.blob.core.windows.net/image/testlabimage.png

Please let us know how we can upload files in root level in Azure storage .

Answer 1

Hello Barik,

As far as i know this is not possible.
You always have to create container to save/archive your files.

This is a diagram from the official Microsoft page about how a storageaccount / blob works:

If my answer helped you in anyway please accept it as an answer.

Answer 2

Create a container with name "$root" and all the files inside will be at the root level
