File share not showing up as service, although it says the configuration offered it

File share not showing up as service, although it says the configuration offered it. Why isnt File Share available and only Blob container?

enter image description here

Solution

  • It's because you're using the Premium (Hot Access) tier. This is strictly for blob storage.

    Premium Blob Only Warning

    Though this premium constraint isn't mentioned, the types of storage account can be found here:

    If you need high performance file storage (no requirement for any other services), when creating the storage account select Premium for Performance and FileStorage for Account Type.
