Download container on Azure Blob Storage

Question

Is there a way of downloading a container and all of its content from Azure Blob Storage? I use CloudBerry Explorer for Azure Blob Storage to manage my containers, files and folders. I have a container with over 100GB of data which I would like to download, but cannot find a way of downloading the container, only individualy files.

Accepted Answer

If you want, you can use the `AzCopy` tool to download an entire blob container. Assuming you have the latest version of the Azure SDK installed, you can find this tool in the `C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Azure\AzCopy` folder.

You can try the following command:

```
AzCopy /Source:"https://[accountname].blob.core.windows.net/[containername]/" /Dest:"[folder path e.g. D:	emp" /SourceKey:"[account key]" /S
```

Replace [accountname], [containername], [folder path], [account key] with the appropriate values.
