Azure Files offers serverless file shares, accessible via SMB, NFS and FileREST protocols. Azure file shares can be mounted concurrently by clients in Azure VMs or from on-premises workstations running Windows, macOS, and Linux. Additionally, Azure File Sync allows caching and synchronization of Azure File shares on Windows Servers for local access.

FAQ
Expand All-
If I create sharing with a 5 TB limit, will I be charged for the entire 5 TB or just the cost of the storage space used?
Only the storage space used is charged for standard file shares, rather than the allocated limit. Pricing for premium files shares is based on provisioned GiB and includes all transaction costs. You can configure your premium shares based on your storage size, IOPS, and throughput requirements.
