AzureBlobStorageConnector

Connects to Azure Blob Storage to manage files and folders.

Jump to Configuration

Typical Uses

  • Managing datasets on Azure Blob Storage by uploading, downloading, and deleting files and folders

  • Transferring file contents into or out of an attribute in FME

  • Retrieving file and folder names, paths, links and other information from Azure Blob Storage to use elsewhere in a workspace

How does it work?

The AzureBlobStorageConnector uses your Azure Storage account credentials to perform various management tasks on Azure Blob Storage:

Action Task

Delete

Delete files and folders.

Download

Download a file or folder to an attribute, file, or folder.

List

List the item details for the contents of a folder.

Upload

Upload a file, folder, or the contents of an attribute.

Once valid account credentials have been provided, you may browse to available content for the selected Action.

Usage Notes

  • This transformer cannot move or copy files between different locations. Consider using multiple connectors for these tasks, by downloading files/folders and re-uploading them to a new location.

  • The FeatureReader can access Azure Blob Storage directly but does not download a local copy of the dataset.
