Azure Blob Storage

Store files with Azure Blob Storage

Databases
Store and access data with Azure
Overview

The Azure Blob Storage integration connects Jet Admin to containers in your Azure Storage account, so files uploaded through a Jet form or table are stored inside your existing Azure tenant rather than a third-party service. This keeps file storage within the same cloud environment as the rest of your organization's infrastructure and compliance boundary.

Once connected, uploaded blobs can be linked to records in your own database, scoped by role, and gated behind an approval step before they're visible to other users — the same controls Jet Admin applies across every data source. Every upload and access is recorded in the audit log, which is useful when Blob Storage holds files subject to internal compliance requirements.

What you can do
List blobs
Pull the contents of a container into a Jet table with search and pagination, filtered by prefix or file type.
Upload blob
Upload a file from a Jet form straight into a container, so a document or export lands in the right place without a manual step.
Download blob
Pull a blob into your app for preview, or pass it along in a workflow such as an approval or an export.
Delete blob
Remove a blob when a record is deleted or a document is replaced. Put it behind an approval step so it cannot happen on a single click.
Generate SAS URL
Create a temporary, secured link to a private blob, so someone can download it without an Azure login.
Use Cases
Scenario
What it looks like
Manage files across Azure environments
Browse, upload and organize blobs across containers without opening the Azure portal.
Compliance-friendly file storage
Keep files inside your organization's existing Azure tenant while giving teams a simpler front end.
Internal tool for an Azure-based stack
Build admin panels and internal tools that read and write directly to your Azure Blob Storage account.

Key benefits

  • Stays inside your Azure tenant. Keep files within the same cloud boundary as the rest of your organization's data.
  • Compliance-friendly. Audit logs and role-based access make it easier to meet internal governance requirements.
  • Files linked to your data. Associate blobs with records in your own database instead of managing them separately.
  • Works across containers. Browse and manage files across multiple containers from a single Jet Admin interface.

How to connect Jet Admin with Azure Blob Storage

  1. In Jet Admin, go to Data Sources and select Azure Blob Storage.
  2. Enter your Azure Storage account name and access key (or connection string).
  3. Specify the container you want Jet Admin to read from and write to.
  4. Test the connection to confirm Jet Admin can access the container.
  5. Add a File field to a Jet form or table and select Azure Blob Storage as its source.
