Supported file types in Azure File Storage

I am wondering if there is a list of supported file types for uploading to Azure File Storage.

Particularly, what would happen if someone attempted to upload a malicious file (say, an executable) to the File Storage. Would Azure allow it, and if it did, what would happen with the .exe?

I haven't found any documentation on this.

  • I am wondering if there is a list of supported file types for uploading to Azure File Storage.

    As such, all kinds of files are supported by Azure File Storage. There's no restriction on the kind of files that can be uploaded/not uploaded there.

    There's a threat detection service from Microsoft but is only available for Blob Storage at the time of writing this answer. You can read more about it here: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/storage/common/storage-advanced-threat-protection?tabs=azure-portal
