You're welcome!
I had been banging my head against the wall for almost 2 days trying to get this to work with Azure Blob before I found your lecture. Thank you so much! I found two minor issues I was doing wrong because of your detailed video. Much appreciated!

Do you know what happens if someone open the same document at the same time? Will they end up overwritting the document data? So person 1 opens document at 1230 Person 2 opens document at 1231 They both make edits Person 1 saves and closes document at 1241 Person 2 saves and closes document at 1244 Will person 2 over-write person 1s edits?
I cannot init the blobmount service, even after setting the admin account. It says it have a problem with the logon.
Hi thank you very much for a great video, do you have a way to do the same but connect the blob to a linux machine?
You are awesome

Welcome! Thanks for feedback!
Thank you so much! By following your instructions step by step everything was set up seamlessly :) Just a side note, I set up Veeam to use the blob folder but it failed to store the backup. It came up with a 1032 Jet error after Veeam had written a just few files to the blob folder. So Veeam did manage to save a few files, but failed to continue writing files after a few seconds. Not sure why?

I have not tried Veeam. It might use some special ways to write or read files which not supported well by Rclone. How about a normal file explorer copy/paste? Is it working fine with windows file explorer?
Great tutorial, anyway to encrypt the access key? It's readable by anyone with access to the computer.

Not that I know of. Endpoint security should be enforced in certain way to make sure your computer is secure.

sorry, I do not know this. Let me know if you have tried it.
I really like this solution. It took a little bit to install. But, it works well. However, I see empty folders created in the local path, those empty folder are not showing in the Azure Storage. Any ideas?

Can we do in linux also???
I tried to add this as a file share but I'm getting error message "An error occured while trying to share bob. The process cannont access the file because it is being used by another process, the shared resource resource was not created at this time" Is it possible to share this folder as well to someone else so other people can map this folder. Thank you

I able to make it work with alternative solution. I have another concern will this be use the security we set for Azure? I would like to use an Azure group for the security of this folder.
Is there any other simpler way? blobfuse for linux was easier for mounting container into the filesystem

Rclone supports mount the cloud drives to multiple machines if that is what you are asking.
So as this folder grow in size, does it increase the size of the C drive as well?
@NetSec
2 жыл бұрын
no, this is the mount point for cloud drive. Not taking C drive space.

@@3omarshall3 I don't know if making a backup of the C drive is a good idea, what you should do is make a separate partition then the OS.
