Azure Blob Storage is Microsoft’s cloud object storage solution designed to hold massive amounts of unstructured data like text, binary files, media, and backups. With the Azure Blob Connector, Creative Force can sync large amounts of production data between the two systems seamlessly.
➕ Add On: Azure Blob is an add-on Connector. If you are interested in using it in your studio, please contact your CSM.
Enable Connector
Once the connector is available in your account, head to Studio Settings → Connectors → Azure Blob, and enable the connector.
Data Source
With the Azure Blob Connector, you can host product data in an Azure Blob Container. CF will sync that product-data from it into the platform– on a schedule and on demand.
General Setup

Blob SAS URL | Enter the full SAS URL for the storage container (a shared access signature scoped to a single container). |
Obtaining SAS URL
🗣️ Tip: Depending on your permissions and familiarity with the technology/interface, you may need to request assistance from your internal IT Team or Azure admin to generate the SAS URL.
⚠️ SAS Permissions: When generating the SAS URL, it must include both Read and List permissions. 'List' is required so the connector can discover which files to sync under the configured path; Read alone is not sufficient.
