Product
Everything your teams need to work with Azure Blob Storage.
A familiar file explorer for the people who use the files, and the controls IT expects: Microsoft Entra ID roles, time-bound sharing and a full activity log.
Use cases
Built for the people who use the files.
Azure Blob Storage holds your exports, deliveries and archives. Blob Web Explorer makes them usable by the teams and partners who need them, without opening the Azure portal to everyone.
Alternative to SFTP
Exchange files with partners and customers
Today: an SFTP server to maintain, storage keys sent by email, or large files split across email attachments.
With Blob Web Explorer: each partner gets a folder they can open in a browser, with exactly the access you decide.
- Write access to drop deliveries, read access to collect results
- Access ends automatically on the date you set
- Uploads up to 195 GiB per file in enterprise editions
- Every upload and download is recorded
Self-service for business teams
Give business teams access to exports and reports
Today: data teams generate files into Azure Blob Storage, then answer requests to send them to finance, sales or operations.
With Blob Web Explorer: business users open, preview and download the files themselves, with read-only access when that is all they need.
- Reader role from your Microsoft Entra ID groups
- Preview PDF, images and text without downloading
- One search across every container
- No Azure role or desktop tool to install
Large volumes
Find anything in archives and media libraries
Today: finding a file means knowing which storage account and container it lives in, then browsing folder by folder.
With Blob Web Explorer: search by name, path or file type across every storage account you can access, and preview media directly.
- Search across containers and storage accounts
- Video, audio and image previews
- Multi-file downloads as a ZIP
- Usage & costs to spot inactive data
