Is anyone here using Azure files and mounting shares are drive letters? I ask because this feature could be a great way of migrating one of our legacy apps into Azure. Web searches hint that you both can and can't map an Azure file share as a drive on your desktop PC. Some say that Windows 10 supports SMB 3.0 so you can mount this like:
net use y: \\*myaccount*.file.core.windows.net\test-share-1 /u:*username* *password* So I tried it, and not surprisingly it thinks for a while and says "System error 53 ... network path was not found". I can't see how that would ever work and resolve that path, but apparently people are doing it. Has anyone done this, not from inside an Azure VM, but from your desktop PC? *GK*
