Error connecting to Windows Azure File Share - azure

I set up a new storage account in the Azure portal, created a file share and then hit the "connect" button in the interface.
net use l: \\sharename.file.core.windows.net\uploaded-images /username accessKey
I put in my key but had no luck:
System error 53 has occurred.
The network path was not found.
I checked my firewall and that wasn't the issue (on the outbound side).
Thanks,
John

The syntax is
net use l: \\mystorageaccount.file.core.windows.net\sharename /USER:mystorageaccount mystorageaccountkey
so you should replace the share name by the storage account name just after "\\" and use the storage account name also as a username. The password is the storage account key.

Unable to mount file on windows from Azure

I made a file on Azure using "File Service" and then tried to mount it using "connect". It has given me the username: localhost\xyz.
Two questions:
why username starting from "localhost" and not with "Azure"?
why I am unable to mount as windows security not giving any error, instead keep on turning back to credentials page?
p.s. TCP port 445 working properly..
Here are a few workarounds that worked for us.
WAY-1
You can directly go to your PowerShell of your machine and paste the script that you have provided in your storage account
WAY-2
You can click on More options and select for different account and then use the storage account name prepended with AZURE\ as the username and a storage account key as the password.
WAY-3
You can create a file share directly by unchecking the connect using different credentials.
OUTPUT:
For all the above ways here is the screenshot of fileshares that got mounted.

Error 'Please check your account info and/or permissions and try again.. Client request id: 'undefined''

I am trying go get storage account blob list via azure logic apps. But I am facing this error.
I tried few things like changing logic app and the storage account into different regions as recommended here.
I test with set my storage account with allow access from selected networks instead of allow access from all networks, but the "List blobs" action shows "Forbidden" error, it doesn't show the error message Please check your account infor...... which you mentioned in your question.
But when I create the storage connection manually with incorrect infor(such as a wrong storage name), it shows same error message with yours.
Unlike your situation, the error message shows when I create the connection in my side but shows in you "List blobs" action. I'm not sure which way did you create the logic app and the storage connection in logic app, so please check if you provide the correct info when you create the logic app and the storage connection.
By digging deeper, I was able to get away from this error by pointing to the right connection.
Changed the connection
Point to right connection which you have access for or add a new one.
If new connection, then enter the proper Azure Storage account name you want to connect with.

Azure Storage Explorer : Unable to retrieve child resources

Getting error ONLY while accessing Blob storage.
No issues in Queues, File Share or table.
Any idea ?
Unable to retrieve child resources.
Details:
["FetchError:request to https://fssaicessunsetsbxv1sa.blob.core.windows.net/?include=metadata&comp=list failed, reason: unable to get local issuer certificate"]
Error : Self-Signed Certificate in Certificate Chain ,Unable to retrieve child resources.
Issue for me: I am attached with office proxy server. But Azure Storage Explorer is not using that proxy.
Solution:
Azure Storage Explorer -> Edit -> Configure Proxy,
Source = No proxy "Changed to" Use System proxy(preview)
After making these changes; I am able access the resources.
Moreover, Verify the permissions do you have on the connection string?
To generate your connection string either through the Azure Portal or some apps. When you generate the connection string, you need to give "Allowed permissions". Beside Read/Write you also need the List permission so Storage Explorer can list the blobs. Here is a screenshot in Azure portal to check/uncheck the permissions:
Have set any RBAC policies?
If you are connected to Azure through a proxy, verify that your proxy settings are correct. If you were granted access to a resource from the owner of the subscription or account, verify that you have read or list permissions for that resource.
If possible can you try to un-install and reinstall the latest version and check for the status of the issue.
Azure Storage Explorer Troubleshooting: "unable to retrieve child resources” or “The request action could not be completed”.
If the issue still persist after trying above mentioned steps, I would like to work closer on this issue. Let me know the status
Warning: For the noobs !
if you got luck you can also fix it by closing and re-opening the visual studio.
Reason: Authorization is tightly coupled with azure
Motivation: To err is Human ! Even Soft. DEV working at Microsoft are Human.

shell.azure.com is failing in configuration

While doing something I got option to execute shell commands from azure portal. It required to configure shell.azure.com first time.
In first step it is giving option of selecting Subscription & create storage. When I select required subscription & click on create storage, it is giving error:
Error: 409
{"error":{"code":"StorageAccountAlreadyTaken", "message":"The storage account named ... is already taken"}}
Can't create a storage account. Please try again.
I tried multiple times but no avail.
I opened Show advanced settings & tried to play with combinations but here using existing storage account is disabled(in advanced settings) and create storage is also disabled.
strong text
PS I have rights to create storage account on subscription, so that is not an issue.
I also face the same issue before. You need to directly edit (manually type the name) the existing storage account in the box, just ignore the using existing checkbox. It seems like a UI bug.
When you add the existing storage account on the UI, please note that the cloud shell region matches the storage account region. You can see the Supported storage regions from https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/cloud-shell/persisting-shell-storage.
Refer to the familiar threads,

Azure sql database export to storage blob failed

I tried to export Sql Database in azure to storage blob but the operation failed. I do this task daily last month and this issue is new. It shows as follows :
Error encountered during the service operation.Blob https://blob link/dbname-2019-1-16-14-24.bacpac is not writeable. The remote server returned an error: (403) Forbidden.The remote server returned an error: (403) Forbidden.
I had the same problem. I have contacted Azure support and this is their response.
We recently identified a regression in the import/export service that is generating incorrect SAS tokens to the storage accounts.
The engineering team has rolled out the fix, but it might take some time for the fix to get applied worldwide.
Please try the following link to access Azure portal and then perform the export operations:
https://portal.azure.com/?feature.canmodifystamps=true&microsoft_azure_storage=stage1
The portal shows an orange title bar if you open it via the above link, this is expected.
So, it should be already fixed by now.
If you're using sql scripts for back up following this link, then I suspect that the expired date of SHARED ACCESS SIGNATURE is reached.
Please re-generate SHARED ACCESS SIGNATURE, and then use the new key for backup.
Please let me know if any more issues.
Make sure a firewall rule does not exist. Please go to the Azure portal "Storage Accounts → "YourStorageAccountName" → Firewalls and Virtual Networks (left vertical panel). Put it to "Allow access" from "All networks". You can also configure the storage account with exceptions for trusted Microsoft services as explained here.
