I have some about Android connect to Azure file share with smb problem.

English isn’t my native language. I apologize for my mistakes.

I would like use azure smb files share with my android phone, I already install app like X-plore File Manager that support smb protocol.

but when I keyin url, stroage account name and stroage account key, app return message "failed authentication".

That url, name and key I think it's correct because I also use in my Windows 10 FileExplore, and it's work.

I didn't open secure-transfer because android only support SMB2.

How can I solve this problem?

Edit: when I using IOS to connect Azure SMB, there is no problem. But Android third party application always can't connect, Please see I have try app below.

  1. x-plore file manager
  2. AndSMB (samba client)
  3. File Manager Plus

app return error message like this

azure android

With the help of storage account key, we can be able to use SMB, and for this we need to enable Azure Active directory domain services, refer to MS docs for enabling AAD DS. For enabling this we need client machine, with help of storage key we can add to AAD DS.

Thanks to 9to5mac for the blog for enabling SMB connectivity in files app for IOS.

Also, we need to interact with third party application to connect with Android.
