As the possible actions are Delete / Download / List / Upload I assume you use Upload?

Thanks, indeed it seems "that's what it is" for now.

Nevertheless, I think (more like hope as I did not go deep in the doc) that the API allows appending. So I have hope that @gerhardatsafe might add it to the package one day if we ask him nicely. I could also try to explore the package python but it would be far far slower..

Hi @antoine​ 

 

The Azure Blob Storage Connector currently only supports the block type of Azure blobs.

There's a useful doc page from Azure explaining the differences here.

 

If you'd like to see support for append or page blobs, please file add this as an idea.
