I am on a project where the ability to download documents (.pdf's) from an Azure File Storage account would be useful. Is this possible? I am currently only able to output the directories and directory's file content paths as strings, but unable to access the files at those paths, using the Microsoft.Azure namespace.
Additional details: In C#/ASP.NET, being deployed as an Azure Web App
Thank you.

Yes, it is possible.
Here is a demo for your reference:
My File Share and one picture file as below:
My code as below:
public static void DownloadFromFileStorage()
{
CloudStorageAccount account = CloudStorageAccount.Parse("DefaultEndpointsProtocol=https;AccountName=leeliublob;AccountKey=OxxxxxxxxQSy2vkvSi/x/e9l9FhLqayXcbxxxxxJ5Wjkly1DsQPYY5dF2JrAVHtBozbJo29ZrrGJA==;EndpointSuffix=core.windows.net");
CloudFileClient client = account.CreateCloudFileClient();
//get File Share
CloudFileShare cloudFileShare = client.GetShareReference("myfile");
//get the related directory
CloudFileDirectory root = cloudFileShare.GetRootDirectoryReference();
CloudFileDirectory dir = root.GetDirectoryReference("Folder1");
//get the file reference
CloudFile file = dir.GetFileReference("1.PNG");
//download file to local disk
file.DownloadToFile("C:\\Test\\1.PNG", System.IO.FileMode.OpenOrCreate);
}
