How to upload files(images, pdf) using Azure blob storage with standard account?

Question

I am using azure blob storage standard account. When I try to upload files, it throws the error 'BlobTypeNotSupported'. I know standard account doesn't support 'Block Blobs'. Is there any other way to upload files using standard account?

Answer 1

I tried in my environment and got below results:

I created a standard storage account through azure portal :

I used the below code to upload images using nest.js

Code:

import { BlobServiceClient, BlockBlobClient } from  '@azure/storage-blob';
import { Injectable } from  '@nestjs/common';

@Injectable()
export  class  AppService {
azureConnection = "< Connection string >";
containerName = "test";

getBlobClient(imageName:string):BlockBlobClient{
const  blobClientService = BlobServiceClient.fromConnectionString(this.azureConnection);
const  containerClient = blobClientService.getContainerClient(this.containerName);
const  blobClient = containerClient.getBlockBlobClient(imageName);
return  blobClient;
}

async  upload(file:Express.Multer.File){
const  blobClient = this.getBlobClient(file.originalname);
await  blobClient.uploadData(file.buffer);
}
}

console:

Postman: You can use the post request to upload image via postman.

Portal:

The above request worked successfully and uploaded file through azure storage standard account using nest.js with Block-blob type.
