Fast and easy way to cloud storage

PROS

Great documented by Microsoft. Easy to deploy and manage with tools like Storage Explorer.

CONS

Costs are a bit unsure at the start. At the end the estimation was right. Also keep notice the security settings. You are just one click away to set a File Share to public access.
