Browse Azure Blob Storage from inside the IDE, and read a blob without downloading it.
The tool window is called Azure Blob. Type the storage Account name and an access Key, then press Connect. The key is kept in the IDE password safe, never in project files. Nothing happens until you press Connect, so the plugin cannot slow your IDE down at startup.
Point Endpoint at http://127.0.0.1:10000 to work
against the Azurite emulator instead of a real account.
Choose the container from the drop-down. Blobs arrive with size, last modified date and access tier. Double-click a folder to go in, and use the up arrow to come back out.
Selecting a blob and pressing Open shows the start of it, JSON indented, without downloading anything.
The same works for plain text. Open a folder, select a log, and read it in place.
Download writes the blob to disk when you actually need the file.
Browsing containers and folders, and seeing sizes and tiers, is free and stays free. Previewing a blob, downloading and favorites need a licence, and every paid feature is included in a 30-day trial that needs no card.
