What is Azure Files?

Azure Files offers fully managed file shares in the cloud that are accessible via the industry standard Server Message Block (SMB) protocol, Network File System (NFS) protocol, and File REST API. Azure file shares can be mounted concurrently by cloud or on-premises deployments of Windows, Linux, and macOS. This makes Azure Files useful for "lift and shift" scenarios, application sharing, and development/testing, providing a shared file system that many virtual machines can access.
