I just want to know if someone made it work, I suspect I'm not completing the required fields OK.
In my situation, I CAN mount it in my Mac's finder as
smb://MYSTORAGEACCOUNTNAME.file.core.windows.net The username es the storage account name (as MS says must be for Mac) The password is one of the storage keys (and it is the same one that I'm using in ownCloud's external storage app config fields.
I don't want you to analyse a possible bug (I use a dated oc version in this case), just know if it works or not for anyone.
Thanks! -->
Steps to reproduce
Create Azure File Storage Account
Add the required data into External Storage part of Admin interface
Expected behaviour
It should mount the share when clicking in External Storage Link in Files area
Actual behaviour
Green Icon shines, but error message appears with "Storage Not Available" Message
Server configuration
Operating system:
Web server:
Database:
PHP version:
ownCloud version: (see ownCloud admin page) 9.1.2 Stable
Updated from an older ownCloud or fresh install: Fresh
This is what I've found concerning using Azure shares with Owncloud, and in general about using from Samba in Linux:
It think the problem is a matter of versions, Azure shares are compatible with Samba packages version 4.5.8, distributed in Debian GNU/Linux version 9 (Stretch), but not lower versions as the one distributed in Debian GNU/Linu 8 (Jessie), in this case 4.2.14 version.
