# ![Microsoft Azure Blob Storage](https://developer.salesforce.com/media/data-cloud-int/icons/AzureBlob.svg '{"class": "image-icon-lg", "title": "Microsoft Azure Blob Storage Connector"}') Microsoft Azure Blob Storage Connector

Azure Storage Platform supports storage of a variety of structured and unstructured data objects in the cloud.

Azure Storage Connector supports data ingestion from Azure Blob Storage and Azure Data Lake Storage Gen2.
