SDK for Azure File Share operations — SMB file shares, directories, and file operations. Current Version: 12.x Node.js: >= 18.0.0 1. Use connection strings for simplicity — Easiest setup for development 2. Use DefaultAzureCredential for local development; use ManagedIdentityCredential or WorkloadIdentityCredential for production 3. Set quotas on shares — Prevent unexpected storage costs 4. Use streaming for large files — uploadStream/downloadToFile for files > 256MB 5. Use ranges for partial updates — More efficient than full file replacement 6. Create snapshots before major changes — Point-in-time recovery 7. Handle errors gracefully — Check RestError.statusCode for specific handling 8. Use IfExists methods — For idempotent operations | Feature | Node.js | Browser | |---------|---------|---------| | StorageSharedKeyCredential | ✅ | ❌ | | uploadFile() | ✅ | ❌ | | uploadStream() | ✅ | ❌ | | downloadToFile() | ✅ | ❌ | | downloadToBuffer() | ✅ | ❌ | | SAS generation | ✅ | ❌ | | DefaultAzureCredential | ✅ | ❌ | | Anonymous/SAS access | ✅ | ✅ |
