What is the maximum size for a file share in Azure?

Last updated on September 25, 2022 @ 12:12 pm

Azure Storage is a cloud-based storage service for applications and data. Azure Storage lets you store your applications and data in the cloud, and access it from anywhere.

In this article, we will discuss the maximum size for a file share in Azure Storage.

PRO TIP: When working with Azure file shares, it is important to be aware of the maximum size for a file share. Currently, the maximum size for a file share is 1 TiB (1024 GiB). This may change in the future, so it is important to check the current limit before working with Azure file shares.

File shares in Azure Storage can have a maximum size of 1 TB. This limit is imposed by the Azure Storage service itself, and is not related to the size of the files that you store in the share.

However, if you want to store larger files, you can split them into multiple files shares, each with a maximum size of 1 TB.
