When the Microsoft Azure Storage Explorer was first released, it did seem a little odd that Microsoft would neglect supporting Linux. However, they did support both Windows and Mac OSX initially. In good news, there have been a number of updates to the Microsoft Azure Storage Explorer announced with a short roadmap of what’s to come in the future.
New Azure Storage Explorer features in the January update (version 0.7.20160107) are:
- Linux Support
- Attach storage accounts with custom endpoints
- Attach blob containers with a SAS Key
- View and edit blob metadata
Here’s some of the future features coming as mentioned in the roadmap:
- Support for Queues
- Support for Files
- Visual Studio Cloud Explorer Integration
