I got an azure storage account information from a contractor with GIS data in it. I received the Account name and account key. Recommended to install storage explorer utility to connect and look at the tables which has around 600 GB of data. I want to connect to the azure storage through arcgis desktop client. How do I do that?
Thanks George. That's helpful. I can see all images but can't open the gdb in the *.acs file. How do I get the gdb or add feature classes from the gdb to Pro project? I confirmed with the contractor that the gdb has several feature classes.
Connect to cloud stores—ArcGIS Pro | ArcGIS Desktop
Only raster items can be accessed through a cloud storage connection, and used in ArcGIS Pro.
We would also not recommend connecting to a "cloud" GDB from a local Desktop client.
