Enable CORS in Blob Storage

Question

Hi all,

I need to enable CORS on my blob storage and saw this MSDN article, but it seemed unclear to how to actually enable CORS. https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/azure/hh452235.aspx

Does anyone have clear and step by step guidance for enabling CORS on blob storage?

Thanks!

K.

Hi Kelly,

I understand that you need a simple tutorial that walks through enabling CORs on blob storage.

You may refer the below links:

I hope that helps.

Let me know if you've any questions.

Best Regards,

Hi K,

You could check if the following link helps you with enabling CORS for your Blob Storage.
Please be advised this cannot be done through the Portal and has to be done Programmatically.

Hi all,

I was able to enable CORS non-programmatically by using Azure Storage Explorer. If you select the blob account it has options for CORS.
