Azure Client-Side Binding
This demo illustrates how to use the custom file provider to connect the FileManager widget to the Azure Blob Storage on the client side. The Custom File Provider allows you to implement custom APIs to handle file operations (add, delete, rename, etc.). On the server, configure the Shared Access Signature (SAS) to grant access to blobs in the storage.
Feel free to share demo-related thoughts here.
