SAS URL

AzureSAS

Create shared access signatures (SAS) URLs for containers, files, folders in your Azure storage account.

Note that each file in a container/folder has to be downloaded separately, so if there are 1000 files in the container, 1000 SAS URLs will be provided

Choose either the container, file, or folder functionality

General usage
