Azure Blob Storage file system

This file system provides an implementation for the file system based on an Azure Storage container, using the official Azure.Storage.Blobs client library.

Blob storage has no real directories - they are simulated using blob name prefixes.

Usage

var connectionString = "DefaultEndpointsProtocol=https;AccountName=...;AccountKey=...";
var containerName = "my-container";

using var fileSystem = TagBites.IO.AzureBlob.AzureBlobFileSystem.Create(connectionString, containerName);
// ... using like standard file system

The container must already exist. The file system does not create it.

Capabilities

• Asynchronous operations. Synchronous calls run on top of them.
• Metadata: none.
• Object storage: a directory exists only as a prefix of a blob name (no FileSystemFeatures.HierarchicalDirectories), so an empty directory cannot be represented.
