I have used the #1Azure Storage Explorer from coldplex and #2Cloud Berry explorer. but I am not satisfied with the poor functions of the #1.
and #2 has a little bug with the duplication of blob which I mentioned here. So somebody can recommend some good tools for me ? First choice it is better for free. Thanks
Cerebrata now offer a free Windows Azure storage tool called Azure Explorer.

Cloud Combine makes managing azure blob storage easy.
This post may help you too: http://wely-lau.net/2012/09/25/an-independent-review-of-explorer-tools-for-windows-azure-blob-storage/
The free version of CloudXplorer works great: http://clumsyleaf.com/products/cloudxplorer
I'm a big fan of the tools from Cerebrta - www.cerebrata.com. Try the trial for free to see if you like it. If so, the price is WELL worth the time savings.

Few minutes ago 3 DB on one SQLAzure sever disappeared and the management console tell me that there are problems to retrieve information about the databases on specific SQL Server of West Europe region.
In the "Support" section we are not able to send a tecnical question, only billing question.
But this is NOT a QUESTION, this is a SIGNAL !!!! (Microsoft is becoming a wall of gum?)
Any one have any way to inform MS that theirs 99.95% up-time services are off???
Many thanks in advance.
Have nice week-end.
Davide.
If you don't see a "Technical" option in the drop down on the support form you'll likely see below the form something that says "Your Support Plan: Free - billing support only
Your current plan does not include technical support from Microsoft.". This means that you haven't purchased support, which comes with the web incident submittal. It will also have a link to the following page https://www.windowsazure.com/en-us/support/plans/, which describes the support levels.
Sadly, at the free support level there doesn't even seem to be a way to tell them that something seems wrong other than to post to the forums. If you are a MSDN Subscriber there is a link on that same support forum that leads you off to a different form which I believe will start an online chat.
In addition the service dashboard gets updated when issues are discovered and they have information to post. Just because something isn't showing up yet doesn't mean that they aren't aware of an issue.

I have ASP.NET website + database. I want to try to deploy it into ms cloud.
I look to Azure "Web Sites".
I don't understand clearly what difference between Free, Shared, Reserved.
What I need to use?
Check out this link: https://www.windowsazure.com/en-us/pricing/details/#header-1 and click on Web Sites link on the left hand side. This should give you an idea about the differences between 3 models.
Hope this helps.
Check out this link below, it clearly explains you the differences between free, shared and reserved website modes.

We recently submitted a Windows Phone app for the Imagine Cup Round 2 Windows Phone competition. We were using Windows Azure services for our Windows Phone App. Unfortunately, our Azure subscription has reached its limit and has been disabled. The Imagine Cup team gave us a free 180 day trial period for Azure which we have not used yet. Is it possible to upgrade our existing subscription to include the 180 day period? We'll be very grateful if you could reply ASAP and help us because our app will not function if the services are not ready and the judging process is about to begin. We greatly appreciate any kind of help.
Regards
Harjoben Singh
You need to open up a case with Microsoft support. They should be able to help or at least tell you what is possible:

How can we find out how much money we are saving by scaling (via increasing and decreasing instance) our Windows Azure application?
Also, is there a way to find out how much database storage is used and its cost, and how much bandwidth is used and its cost?
I don't believe there is currently any way to measure in an immediate way how your Windows Azure application changes affect your billing and usage. There is, however, a feature request for a billing/usage API you could vote on.
SQL Azure includes two system views that can detail your storage and bandwidth usage.
The sys.database_usage view lists the number, type, and duration of
databases on the server and the sys.bandwidth_usage view describes the
bandwidth used with each database.
The above was excerpted from this article.

Can anyone recommend any cloud based alternatives too SharePoint? I have seen a couple good ones on sites like www.sharepointalternative.com and www.topsharepointalternatives.com but does anyone have experience of ones they have used before?
We are a small company of 16 people but are looking to expand to around 30 by the end of the year and so should be easily scalable. We would need to be able to easily share and edit files and have a version control.
It also has to work as an internal and external portal as we want to share with clients as well as internally.
Check out http://www.alfresco.com/. We tried it, but it was not a good solution for us since we have hundreds of users and our groups needed many sub-sites with their own permissions.
google apps for sure!
http://www.ilovefreesoftware.com/09/articles/sharepoint-vs-google-apps.html
It's free up until 20 users I believe. So you can easily try it out without extra costs and than pay a little if you expand enough
CMSWire has a great list of Sharepoint Alternatives. Glasscubes seems to be the most viable alternative for what you are looking for, however I have zero experience with it.
