About Azure Files

Azure Files is a managed file share service on Microsoft Azure. It exposes shares over the standard SMB and NFS protocols, so applications and users can mount them like an ordinary network drive without running their own file servers.

Because it supports both protocols, shares can be used for file sharing and storage across platforms. It is a proprietary Azure service billed through Azure subscriptions, with details on Microsoft's pricing pages.
