# Azure Blob Storage

### Supported URL formats

Earthscale supports Azure URLs formatted like:

{% code overflow="wrap" %}

```
https://{storageaccount}.blob.core.windows.net/{path_can_contain_glob_patterns}
```

{% endcode %}

Values in curly brackets are placeholders.

You can get URLs like this from Azure Storage Explorer:

Or from the Azure Portal:

### Security

Earthscale uses OpenID Connect (OIDC) to securely access your cloud data using dedicated per-customer service accounts. This eliminates the need to share credentials while providing fine-grained access control over your cloud resources. It also lets you revoke access at any time if necessary.

### Granting Access

To grant Earthscale read-only access to an Azure Storage Container:

* Open [Earthscale](https://app.earthscale.ai/)
* Click on the user icon in the top-right corner of the left sidebar
* Click **"Cloud Access"**

* Select the **"Microsoft Azure"** tab

* Follow the instructions there, and make sure to notify us of your Azure Tenant ID so we can grant access on our side. You can send this information to [support@earthscale.ai](https://earthscale.ai/).
