The service consists of the following parts that can be dealt with as separate resources:
Storage account: It provides the namespace, and it manages access and authorization for all associated shares..
Share: It is the container for directories and files. It can contain up to 5 TB of data. Multiple shares can be created under the same storage account, providing the storage capacity quota, which is a maximum of 500 TB, is not exceeded.
Directory: It is an optional way of containing files or other sub-directories.
URL: It provides an endpoint for exposing the above resources, which can be accessed by the REST API.
The URL pattern for accessing a file is:
https://<storage-account>.file.core.windows.net/<share>/ <directory>/<file>
