Installing and Using Azure Storage Explorer

Azure Storage Explorer is a standalone application that can be used to easily work with the different types of data stored in an Azure storage account. There is also an implementation in preview in the Azure portal that allows integrated access to storage accounts. You can upload, download, and manage files, queues, tables, blobs, data lake storage, and Cosmos DB entities using Azure Storage Explorer. Aside from that, you can also use the application to configure and manage cross-origin resource sharing (CORS) rules for your storage accounts. This application can be used on Windows, Linux, and macOS devices.

Note

CORS is a mechanism that allows the loading of resources from origins dissimilar to the pattern origin. The feature tells a browser whether it should permit the loading of resources when it detects a CORS pattern. This is a frequently used feature of web design and something to be cognizant of.
