Context: I've successfully installed Azurite, a local emulator (via the Visual Studio Code extension) and Azure Storage Explorer. I've also successfully placed a parquet file in the blob directory, started blob service in Azurite and confirmed in VSC that the file is there.

Question: When I try to connect to the emulator from Azure Storage Explorer, I don't see the parquet file. What am I doing wrong? Why do I not see the parquet file under either of the blob containers in ASE yet the file shows in VSC?

Actually the parquet file you put is invalid.

Because __blobstorage__ directory did not store your containers and blobs, refer to:

blobstorage - Directory containing Azurite blob service persisted binary data

As we can see, you have connected to your azurite successfully. Just upload your file using Storage Explorer.

  • @ Doris Lv thanks. It sounds like you're saying _blobstorage_ isnt the right place to put the file. Where is the correct directory? – emalcolmb Oct 12 '20 at 13:19
  • @emalcolmb, Usually we view and manage the blob using Storage Explorer. Sorry I didn't find a place where described how azurite works background, but for Azure storage emulator, "the Storage Emulator uses a local Microsoft SQL Server 2012 Express LocalDB instance to emulate Azure storage services." – Doris Lv Oct 13 '20 at 01:53
  • Do you know wherr I can find steps to load the file into Azurite using the Storage Explorer? – emalcolmb Oct 13 '20 at 11:35
  • @emalcolmb , click *local-1* account, right click *blob container*,choose *create blob container*, then click the container you created just now, then you can manage your blob file in this page. – Doris Lv Oct 14 '20 at 02:00

Try to access through the local connection string.

<add key="StorageConnectionString" value="UseDevelopmentStorage=true" />
