Your details will obviously be different, but for this example: Share path: \\ .net\share1 We just need to select and copy the share path, username and password text from ‘net use’ command: You’ll be presented with several scripts and command line options to connect to your new share from anywhere in the world. The max is 5TB / 5120 GB:Ĭlick the ‘…’ menu on the new share and select ‘Connect’ Give your share a meaningful name and set the size. Select ‘Pin to dashboard’ for easy access.įinally, click ‘Create’ and you’ll see the following activity widget on the dashboard followed by a new storage tile after a few seconds:Ĭlick the new storage tile, select ‘Files’ in the storage account selections pane that opens, then click ‘Add File Share’ Select the ‘Classic’ deployment model to keep things simple.Ĭreate a new and appropriately named ‘ Resource Group’. I’ve use ‘macriumofficebackups’ for this example. You must provide a unique name, across all Azure shares, for your share URL. In the Azure Dashboard select ‘All Services’ then scroll to and select ‘Storage Accounts’ in the ‘Storage’ group:Ĭlick the ‘Add’ button to reveal the share creation options. There’s a Free tier and currently a free credit for full access when you first enrol. It’s easy and takes just 5 minutes! If you don’t currently have an Azure account then it’s easy to set one up. If you have problems please check that your ISP isn’t blocking this port. Port 445 (TCP outbound) must be open to allow communication with Azure file shares. Earlier versions of Windows cannot mount Azure shares. Note: SMB 3.0 is available with Windows 8.1 or later and Windows Server 2012 or later operating systems. Share access is fully secure using end to end AES encryption utilised in the SMB 3.0 protocol and can be used directly for Macrium Reflect backup and restore. Azure Files offers fully managed file shares in the cloud that are accessible via the industry standard Server Message Block (SMB) protocol.
