Attach Azure File Share in Triofox – TrioFox Support Team

Triofox supports Azure File Share.

When setup Azure File Share in Azure Portal, the portal provides a PowerShell script to setup network drive in windows. From the script, can identify the server, user name, password and share name.

Here is one example:

$connectTestResult = Test-NetConnection -ComputerName azurefile002.file.core.windows.net -Port 445
if ($connectTestResult.TcpTestSucceeded) {
    # Save the password so the drive will persist on reboot
    cmd.exe /C "cmdkey /add:`"azurefile002.file.core.windows.net`" /user:`"Azure\azurefile002`" /pass:`"cr4clyOuKLum7KbRrtsmt459KTHoBaIGr3/5ekHTU0X7fl2lAXi6JPfwUZZDd4Da/xxxxxxx==`""
    # Mount the drive
    New-PSDrive -Name Z -PSProvider FileSystem -Root "\\azurefile002.file.core.windows.net\share001" -Persist
} else {
    Write-Error -Message "Unable to reach the Azure storage account via port 445. Check to make sure your organization or ISP is not blocking port 445, or use Azure P2S VPN, Azure S2S VPN, or Express Route to tunnel SMB traffic over a different port."
}

In the example, we can retrieve the information required to attach the share in Triofox

Server Name: azurefile002.file.core.windows.net

(the name should be <storage account name>.file.core.windows.net

User Name: Azure\azurefile002 (/user: in the script)

Password: cr4clyOuKLum7KbRrtsmt459KTHoBaIGr3/5ekHTU0X7fl2lAXi6JPfwUZZDd4Da/xxxxxxx== (/pass: in the script)

Share Name: share001
