I created an Azure Storage account. I have a 400 megabytes .zip file that I want to put into blob storage for later use.

How can I do that without writing code? Is there some interface for that?

Free tools:

  1. Visual Studio 2010 -- install Azure tools and you can find the blobs in the Server Explorer
  2. Cloud Berry Lab's CloudBerry Explorer for Azure Blob Storage
  3. ClumpsyLeaf CloudXplorer
  4. Azure Storage Explorer from CodePlex (try version 4 beta)

There was an old program called Azure Blob Explorer or something that no longer works with the new Azure SDK.

Out of these, I personally like CloudBerry Explorer the best.
