Prerequisites for mounting an Azure file share on macOS

  • Storage account name: To mount an Azure file share, you will need the name of the storage account.

  • Storage account key: To mount an Azure file share, you will need the primary (or secondary) storage key. SAS keys are not currently supported for mounting.
