Description
The Get-AzureStorageBlobContent cmdlet downloads the specified storage blob. If the blob name is not valid for the local computer, this cmdlet automatically resolves it if it is possible.
Examples
Example 1: Download blob content by name
PS C:\>Get-AzureStorageBlobContent -Container "ContainerName" -Blob "Blob" -Destination "C:\test\"
This command downloads a blob by name.
Example 2: Download blob content using the pipeline
PS C:\>Get-AzureStorageBlob -Container containername -Blob blobname | Get-AzureStorageBlobContent
This command uses the pipeline to find and download blob content.
Example 3: Download blob content using the pipeline and a wildcard character
PS C:\>Get-AzureStorageContainer container* | Get-AzureStorageBlobContent -Blob "cbox.exe" -Destination "C:\test"
This example uses the asterisk wildcard character and the pipeline to find and download blob content.
Parameters
-Blob
Specifies the name of the blob to be downloaded.

Type: | Nullable<T>[Int32] |
Position: | Named |
Default value: | None |
Required: | False |
Accept pipeline input: | False |
