Microsoft Azure Storage

Storage Explorer

Azure Storage Explorer is a desktop client for Windows, macOS, and Linux that lets you interact directly with Azure storage accounts. It handles the practical work of browsing containers, uploading files, and managing blobs without needing to write CLI scripts or navigate complex web portals.

This tool suits developers who prefer a graphical interface for quick storage tasks across different operating systems. The main catch is the cost structure: there is no free tier, so you operate on a pay-as-you-go model. While the app itself might not have a license fee, any underlying storage resources you access or create will incur standard Azure charges.
