If the Authentication - Credential Source: Anonymous why even require the additional Embedded Credentials - Account Name?

Thanks for the question @mikek​!  The AzureFileStorageConnector requires an Account Name to identify the Azure container that you want to access. This helps construct the URL needed by the API to connect to your desired share and folders: 

https://{accountName}.file.core.windows.net/{shareName}/{filePath}

So we can't uniquely refer to a file without an account name.  I hope this helps.

@nampreetatsafe​ Thanks for this, very helpful information. The HTTPCaller was the solution I was looking for here. Much thanks to Dami at Safe.
