I am accessing the azure files share via UNC. I have it mount in a windows vm and I am able to access/read files. However I also need to read and do things based on the metadata that is being set on those files. As far I know the metadata are custom key-value pairs that can be stored on a azure file share, folder and files. A different application set it via Rest API sdks.
So, is there any way to get/set those custom metadata by mounting it in a vm?
I am using a c# program to read into the share and list files in order to find newly uploaded files. Although it works on checking last modified date, I still need to filter on a specific metadata to prevent double processing.
The REST metadata can only be accessed from REST and is not available through SMB.
