Hi ,
I was trying to understand maximum number of files that could be upload with in a blob
so while searching I came across this msdn link
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/azure/ee691964.aspx?f=255&MSPPError=-2147217396
Which says this
Block blobs let you upload large blobs efficiently. Block blobs are comprised of blocks, each of which is identified by a block ID. You create or modify a block blob by writing a set of blocks and committing them by their block IDs. Each block can be a different size, up to a maximum of 4 MB, and a block blob can include up to 50,000 blocks. The maximum size of a block blob is therefore slightly more than 195 GB (4 MB X 50,000 blocks). If you are writing a block blob that is no more than 64 MB in size, you can upload it in its entirety with a single write operation;
So what I tried was writing more than 50,000 files in single folder for a day which I succeeded( I was not expecting this) and I got confused, what do we mean by blocks.
Is the maximum size of the blob 195 GB? no matter how many files one uploads...if yes then what is 4MB constraint ?
Can some one help me understanding this? So if my blob url is http://xyz.com in which I have day-wise folders...how all this falls in to this scenario ?
