All of your Azure Storage data objects, such as blobs, file shares, queues, tables, and disks, are stored in an Azure storage account. 
Azure Blob Storage is a storage solution for the cloud. Massive volumes of unstructured data, including text or binary data, can be stored there since it is designed to do so. It offers storage so you may create data lakes for your analytics needs and create robust cloud-native and mobile apps. 
It supports three types of blobs. They are Block blobs, Append blobs and Page blobs.
**Block blobs** are ideal for storing text or binary files and uploading large files efficiently.
**Append blobs** are very good for logging scenarios because they are specially designed for append operations.
**Page blobs** are used for storing virtual hard drive (VHD) files because they are used for random read/write operations

Come on! Lets get to work
We are creating a storage account with Azure blob container

First, log in to your Azure portal and click on Storage account to create one.

Click on upload
