Sharing a container in windows azure storage

Hi,
How can i share a container with specific users only? What i want is have a container shared, for instance, with 2 specifics users, where each one can upload data to that container and each one can see other's uploads. How can i do that? Is that possible?
Thanks in advance,
Regards,
Tiago Oliveira

Hi,
You can use
shared access signatures for your blob and provide this to the 2 specific users.
Hope this helps.

Can't install windows azure storage sdk on windows phone 8

From Visual studio 2013 ultimate, I opened Nuget package manager console and typed following command for my windows phone 8 solution:
install-package windowsazure.storage
And I got the following error:
install-package : Could not install package 'Microsoft.WindowsAzure.ConfigurationManager 1.8.0.0'. You are trying to install this package into a project that targets 'WindowsPhone,Version=v8.0', but the package does not contain any assembly references or
content files that
are compatible with that framework. For more information, contact the package author.
At line:1 char:1
I get the same problem using UI version of package manager as well.
Did something change with the newer version of windows azure storage?

The package you are trying to install does not include the Windows Phone library. Please use the following command instead:
Install-Package WindowsAzure.Storage-Preview -Pre
Thanks for this. It worked for me. Can I just add, for those that don't know how to run this command. You go to tools > Library package manager > package manager console then paste in the command and hit enter.
Thanks again!

Cannot install Windows Azure Storage Emulator - 3.0 Error: No available SQL Instance was found

When trying to install Windows Azure SDK for .NET (VS 2013) - 2.3 from Web Platform Installer 4.6, the install fails because Windows Azure Storage Emulator - 3.0 (Dependency) does not install successfully.

In terms of SQL Instance, SQL LocalDB is installed and working properly. SQL Server 2012 is also installed and working properly.

Hi,
It is a SDK version issue. I suggest you could remove all azure sdk form your PC and use WPI to install the latest version again.
If you have any questions, please let me know.

Windows Azure Storage Account Location change

Hi Experts,
I have deployed my Web site on Windows azure. I have created Windows Azure Storage Account. By mistakely i have set the location wrong. How can we change the location of Windows storage account?
Thanks!

Hello CRM Inn,
I am sorry to know that you have chosen an incorrect location and would like to change the location for your storage account. Unfortunately, there is no option available to change the storage location for an existing storage account.
Your only option would be to create a new storage account, migrate data to the new storage account and delete the existing one. You can refer to this article that will give you information on migrating data from one account to another:
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/windowsazurestorage/archive/2012/06/12/introducing-asynchronous-cross-account-copy-blob.aspx
I also suggest that you create affinity groups. By creating affinity groups you can be sure that all your related services are under the same data center. You can refer to this article to learn about Affinity groups:

Windows Azure Tools: Failed to initialize Windows Azure storage emulator. Unable to start the storage emulator.

Hi,
I created a cloud service using Visual Studio 2013. When I tried to run the service, it fails with
Windows Azure Tools: Failed to initialize Windows Azure storage emulator. Unable to start the storage emulator.
Is there a way to debug this error? At a bare minimum, it would be great to get an error message on why it could not start.
Thanks

I ran Windows Azure Storage Emulator -v3.1 to launch the command line tool. I wanted to see if I could get some debug information, but that failed with the following exception.

Thanks
Richa Km

Hi Richa,
If you want to store a ISO image file in Azure Storage ,I suggest that you can try to use Azure Blob storage.
For Azure Blob storage is a service for storing large amounts of unstructured data, such as text or binary data, that can be accessed from anywhere in the world via
HTTP or HTTPS.
So that you can store a common ISO file use the Azure Blob storage, and you can get it anytime or anywhere .
For more information about how to use Azure Blob storage ,please refer to the link below:
http://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/articles/storage-dotnet-how-to-use-blobs/
Then you can use Azure storage Explorer to store ISO image file ,please refer to the link below:
https://azurestorageexplorer.codeplex.com/
You also can try the CloudBerry to store the ISO image file, please refer to the link below:

Encode shared key signature in Azure Storage Queue

I'd like to use Azure storage REST api for queue, and in order to add the authentication infomation to the http header, I have to get the shared key.
From http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/azure/dd179428.aspx, I saw the string to sign like this:
I found it was very strange, I prefer it's C# code, and some place "\n" missed and so is "+", as I made up all stuffs, the authentication still failed, I do not know why, here is what I did:
using (var httpClient = new HttpClient())
var verb = "PUT";
var contentEncoding = "";
var contentLanguage = "";
var contentLenght = "0";
var contentMd5 = "";
var contentType = "text/plain; charset=utf-8";
var date = DateTime.UtcNow.ToString("R", CultureInfo.InvariantCulture);
var ifModifiedSince = "";
var ifMatch = "";
var ifNoneMatch = "";
var ifUnmodifiedSince = "";
var range = "";
var canonicalizedHeaders = "";
var canonicalizedResource = "";
var stringToSign = verb + "\n" + contentEncoding + "\n" + contentLanguage + "\n" + contentLenght + "\n" +
contentMd5 + "\n" + contentType + "\n" + date + "\n" + ifModifiedSince + "\n" +
ifMatch + "\n" + ifNoneMatch + "\n" + ifUnmodifiedSince + "\n" + range + "\n" +
canonicalizedHeaders + "\n" + canonicalizedResource;
httpClient.BaseAddress = new Uri(string.Format("https://{0}.queue.core.windows.net", accountName));
httpClient.DefaultRequestHeaders.Clear();
httpClient.DefaultRequestHeaders.Add("Authorization", string.Format("SharedKey {0}:{1}", accountName, Hash(accountKey, stringToSign)));
httpClient.DefaultRequestHeaders.Add("x-ms-date", date);
var result = httpClient.PutAsync("myqueue", new StringContent(""));
result.Wait();
static string Hash(string message, string secret)
var messageBytes = Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(message);
var secrectBytes = Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(secret);
using (var hash = new HMACSHA256(secrectBytes))
var hashMessage = hash.ComputeHash(messageBytes);
return Convert.ToBase64String(hashMessage);
Anyone can help me?

Large Files from FTP to Azure Storage Account.

We required to transfer files from FTP to Azure Storage Account.
Our FTP contains Almost 4 TB data and in future it will be growing.
We require some automate process which will transfer data from FTP to Windows Azure Storage.
Currently Implemented Solution: We have created
a windows service which will download files from FTP and converting to file stream and with Blob Storage object it will be uploaded to
Storage account.
With the mentioned approach bandwidth is utilized at 2 places
For downloading file from FTP
For Uploading to Azure Storage
Can you please provide any solution/suggestion which will reduce the consumption of bandwidth and large data will transfer in less time

Hi,
Please have a look at below article, it is talking about Blob Transfer Utility tool. Blob Transfer Utility is a GUI tool to upload and download thousands of small/large files to/from Windows Azure Blob Storage.
#https://blobtransferutility.codeplex.com/
Disclaimer: This is not a Microsoft official tool and it is not supported by Microsoft. It's just a (very useful) sample.

Managed Backup to Windows Azure

Hello,
I am following this article
to setup my sql server to perform automatic backups to Azure blob storage.
However, when I try to run the smart_admin.sp_set_db_backup stored procedure, it fails, since it could not be found.
It seems to be necessary having SQL Server 2012 SP1 Cumulative Update 2 installed.
I think I could properly install this fix, following instruction located in
this article, but after installing the patch, when I open Management studio and connect to the database instance, I can see it is still 11.0.2100 build.
As far as I understood, it must be 11.0.3339.0.
How can I make sure to have this patch installed?
Igor.
.NET Software developer for industrial internet and automation system.

Thank you Samuel,
You are right. It seems the syntax you referenced works. At least, I was able to create a backup into my azure storage account.
Does that means SQL Server Express 2012 does not support managed backups like article I was reading? What do you suggest?
Thank you,
Igor.
.NET Software developer for industrial internet and automation system.
Hi Igor,
For SQL Server versions previous to SQL Server 2014, you can use the add-in SQL Server backup to Windows Azure tool to quickly and easily create backups to Windows Azure storage.
This feature is available in SQL Server 2014 or later. Usually, we can back up to disk and tape, now you can back up to Windows Azure storage by specifying URL as the backup destination. You can use this feature to manually backup or configure
your own backup strategy like you would for a local storage or other off-site options. This feature is available in SQL Server 2012 SP1 CU2 or later. For more information, see:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj919148(v=sql.120).aspx
In addition, the SQL Server Agent component is not included in SQL Server Express editions , you could not create backups automatically via a job and offer a way to schedule either jobs or maintenance plans. However, you can use a Transact-SQL
script together with Windows Task Scheduler to automate backups of SQL Server Express databases on a scheduled basis. For more information, see：http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2019698/en-us
