Azure Blob Storage

Azure Blob Storage is a secure cloud object storage designed for cloud-native workloads, archives, data lakes, HPC, and machine learning.

Establishing Connection

Skyvia connects to Azure Blob Storage using OAuth 2.0 authentication. To create a connection, sign in with your Microsoft Azure account.

Skyvia does not store your login credentials. Instead, it uses OAuth 2.0 to generate an authentication token, which is stored on the Skyvia server and bound to this connection.

Required connection parameters:

  • Storage Account Name — the name of your storage account in the Azure portal.

  • Tenant ID — the ID of the current directory in the Azure portal.

  • Refresh Token — automatically generated upon signing in with your Azure account.

Getting Credentials

To retrieve the Tenant ID, follow these steps:

  1. In your Azure account, click the User icon in the top-right corner and select Switch directory:
