Azure App Service now supports mounting Azure Files as a local share in Windows Code (in public preview). This complements existing file share support for Linux Containers and Windows Containers.
Enabling custom-mounted storage creates many opportunities for you to:
- Configure persistent storage for your App Service app and manage the storage separately.
- Make static content like video and images readily available for your App Service app.
- Write application log files or archive older application log to Azure File shares.
- Share content across multiple apps or with other Azure services.
