Getting error 53 has occurred on Azure map drive.

Question
-
I am trying to map a storage account to a Virtual machine in Azure.
Simply create a new storage account so that it has the new Azure Files access, then map a drive to the VM using net use:
net use z: \\tempstorage.file.core.windows.net\upload /u:tempstorage mykey
I am getting: System error 53 has occurred.
The network path was not found.
I have made the container public and can access files located inside with the help of this link:
https://tempstorage.blob.core.windows.net/upload/example.jpg
Any ideas why I am getting System error 53?Thursday, August 21, 2014 4:38 PM

Hi,
I would request you to make sure that you have enabled the folder as a Share.
For how to do that, please refer step 3 in this link:
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/windowsazurestorage/archive/2014/05/12/introducing-microsoft-azure-file-service.aspxIf you don't do this then you won't be able to map it to a virtual machine using the 'net use' command.
Let us know if it helps.

Hi,
Yes, i think you may consider Azure File Service.
