Azure File Storage: Create nested directories

Question

My code looks like this

CloudFileClient client = ...;

client.GetShareReference("fileStorageShare")
    .GetRootDirectoryReference()
    .GetDirectoryReference("one/two/three")
    .Create();

This errors if directories one or two don't exist. Is there a way to create these nested directories with a single call?

Answer 1

It is impossible. The SDK does not support it this way, you should create them one by one.

A issue has already submitted here.

If you wanna create them one by one, you can use the following sample code:

static void NestedDirectoriesTest()
{
   var cred = new StorageCredentials(accountName, accountKey);
   var account = new CloudStorageAccount(cred, true);
   var client = account.CreateCloudFileClient();
   var share = client.GetShareReference("temp2");
   share.CreateIfNotExists();
   var cloudFileDirectory = share.GetRootDirectoryReference();

   //Specify the nested folder
   var nestedFolderStructure = "Folder/SubFolder";
   var delimiter = new char[] { '/' }; 
   var nestedFolderArray = nestedFolderStructure.Split(delimiter);
   for (var i=0; i<nestedFolderArray.Length; i++)
   {
       cloudFileDirectory = cloudFileDirectory.GetDirectoryReference(nestedFolderArray[i]);
       cloudFileDirectory.CreateIfNotExists();
       Console.WriteLine(cloudFileDirectory.Name + " created...");
   }
}
