# Connecting the Azure Blob Storage App

The Azure Blob Storage app connects your Dexi account to Microsoft's Azure Blob Storage, enabling you to use it in pipes or via triggers.

Before you can use the Azure Blob Storage app you will need to create a storage account in your Microsoft Azure Portal that is the following account                              type: **StorageV2 (general purpose V2)**.

Ensure a **Storage Blob Data Contributor** role assignment is granted to this account. 

For more information and help on Storage Accounts, take a look at the Microsoft [documentation.](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/storage/blobs/){target="_blank"} 

To activate the Azure Blob Storage App within your Dexi Account:
1. Click **Apps**. 
2. Go to **All Apps**.

3. Select the Azure Blob Storage App.
4. Select **Add** in the right panel.

5. In the **Congfigure app** screen, enter details to enable the Azure Blob Storage App to connect to your Azure portal and Storage Account.

    For all file storage apps - except Amazon S3 - you are presented with the relevant      permissions that Dexi needs for the connection to the service to function.

6. Click the **Click to connect account** icon. ![z apps icon azure_blob_storage_app connect.png](https://cdn.document360.io/03076343-9561-4857-8a4e-9f3bfed20ced/Images/Documentation/z%20apps%20icon%20azure_blob_storage_app%20connect.png){height="30" width=""}

7. Enter  relevant details in the sign-in screen and select **Next** to enter your password.
8. In the **Stay signed in?** section you can select **Yes** or **No**. Your response does not affect the app.  

You can read more information about staying signed in on the Microsoft help [site.](https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/azure-active-directory-identity/fewer-login-prompts-the-new-8220-keep-me-signed-in-8221/ba-p/245310#){target="_blank"}

9. You might be asked to grant permission for the app to have access to the service. If so, select **Yes**. 

10. Once permissions are granted you are redirected to the **Configure app** screen. You can see that your account has been added.

11. Enter the name of your storage account. Ensure that it is the storage account that has a **Storage Blob Data Contributor** role assignment.

12. Enter is the **Blob Container Name**. You do not need to create this before configuring your Azure Blob Storage app. 

13. Enter is **Blob default path**. You do not need to create this before configuring your Azure Blob Storage app. Ensure the forward slash **/** proceeds the name of the blob.

### Test configuration 
Once the app configuration details are complete, confirm the information is correct by selecting **Test Configuration**. If the test performs correctly, select **Create**. 

If the test configuration fails, recheck entered values. If the values are correct, it could be a permission level issue set in the service. For the Azure Blob Storage app, contact the Dexi team to resolve the configuration issue. 

## Troubleshooting
#### When *Test Configuration* is failing while adding a trigger or adding a pipe action 

1. Go to the **Apps in your account** tab and try to reconnect the Azure app.
2. Edit the Azure app and disconnect the Azure user. 
3. Once connected back, confirm it's working by clicking **Test Configuration**. 
4. If the test runs smoothly, select **Update**. The app is ready to use.

If the test configuration fails, recheck entered values of **Storage Account name**, **Blob Container name**. If the values are correct, it could be a permission level issue set for the storage account.

#### When *Test Configuration* is successful but failing to perform Read/Write operation

1. Ensure **Storage Blob Data Contributor** role assignment is granted for the user you are using with the Dexi integration. 
2. Once granted, try again to set up an app under **Apps in your account**.
