Your Azure Blob Storage container, with the controls your team needs.
Connect a container using the authentication method your organization already uses. Your files are stored in your own Azure account, you pay Microsoft directly, and FileBackerz adds per-folder permissions, file requests, share links and the audit log.
Your container, our controls.
Stored in your Azure account
Files live in the container you connect, under the access and retention settings you control.
Your authentication method
Azure offers more than one way to authenticate. Pick the one your organization already uses.
Pay Microsoft, not us
You pay Azure directly at your own rates. We do not resell storage or add a margin.
Does not use your plan’s storage
Files stored on an active connection do not count toward your FileBackerz storage allowance.
Every feature works
Version history, trash and restore, share links, file requests, previews and the audit log all work on files stored in Azure.
Disconnecting never touches your data
If you disconnect, or close your FileBackerz account, we delete the credentials you gave us. Your files stay in your own account.
Connecting an Azure container
- 01
Open Storage
Choose Storage in the sidebar (owners and admins), then select Add Connection.
- 02
Choose Azure Blob
Pick Azure Blob, name the connection, enter your container details, and provide one of the authentication options.
- 03
Run the test
A new connection cannot be used until its test passes. Select Test on the connection; its status changes to Active when it does.
- 04
Make it the default
From the connection’s menu choose Set as Default, so new uploads are stored there.
Questions, answered
Do uploads go straight to my storage?
No. Uploads pass through FileBackerz on their way to your storage, and the same 100 MB per-file limit applies.
What happens if the connection stops working?
If your default connection is not active, new uploads are stored with FileBackerz instead and count toward your plan’s storage. Check the connection’s status after changing credentials, and use Test to reactivate it.
Will FileBackerz show files added to the container by other tools?
No. FileBackerz shows the files that were uploaded through FileBackerz. Files added to the container some other way do not appear.
How many connections can I have?
Up to 20 on the paid plan and 10 on the trial. You choose one as the default for new uploads.
