If you don't have an Azure Account, you can sign up for one today for free and receive $200 in credits by selecting "Create a Free Azure Account..." or selecting "View->Command Palette" and searching for "Azure: Create an Account".

You may sign out of Azure by selecting "View->Command Palette" and searching for "Azure: Sign Out".

To select which subscriptions show up in the extension's explorer, click on the "Select Subscriptions..." button on any subscription node (indicated by a "filter" icon when you hover over it), or select "View->Command Palette" and search for "Azure: Select Subscriptions".

Known Issues

This extension focuses on simple developer and editing scenarios that are convenient from within VS Code. Therefore, the following scenarios are not supported:

  • Classic Azure Storage Accounts not supported.
  • Viewing diagnostics and logs tables is not supported.
  • Viewing the contents of tables and queues is not supported.
  • Uploading or downloading binary files (except images) is not supported.
  • Uploading or downloading of blobs is limited to text file types, block blobs and up to 4MB in size. Uploading and downloading of files in file shares is not currently supported.

For these scenarios and other advanced features, please use Microsoft Azure Storage Explorer, which is free and available cross-platform for Linux, MacOS and Windows. Feedback on supported or desired features, as well as issues that you find, is always encouraged. Simply enter an issue.
