Hello @pragadeeshraju-2799,

I tested the following az cmdlet and it worked for the purpose

az webapp config storage-account add -g "your resource group name" --name "app service name" --storage-type AzureFiles --share-name "share name" --account-name "storage account name" --access-key "your storage account key" --mount-path "mount path in app service" --custom-id "your custom id" --verbose --debug

Added verbose and debug switches to see any issues in running the cmdlet

Yes it should work. I am able to mount it on the specified path. You may try it in your windows web app

Actually, the command works for windows web app also. But, I have not found the mounted path when I search within the console.
{
"test123": {
"accessKey": "my key",
"accountName": "teststoragemanu",
"mountPath": "/webstorage",
"shareName": "manutest",
"state": "Ok",
"type": "AzureFiles"
},

Thanks,
Manu
