Azure Blob storage is a feature of Microsoft Azure. It allows users to store large amounts of unstructured data on Microsoft’s data storage platform. In this case, Blob stands for Binary Large Object, which includes images and other multimedia files.
Our platform enables you to quickly and easily connect your Form Entries to Azure Blob storage.
This enables you to select which files, images, and videos to upload to Azure Blob Storage when forms are submitted.
Before you add an Azure Blob Storage Connector, ensure you have a valid Microsoft Azure connection set up for your organization.
Adding the Connector
Follow these steps to add the connector to your specific form:
- Navigate to App Workshop > Forms.
- Hover over your desired form and click the Connect icon.
- Click the Add Connector button (top-right).
- Select Azure Blob Storage from the options.
Note: The page will refresh with the connector added. Changes are not live until you click Save.
Quick Access Tip
If you are already inside the Form Builder or Settings view, you don’t need to go back to the main menu. Simply click the Connectors tab located directly under the form title at the top of the screen.
