3D Model File Previewing

You can now preview 3D model files in your blob containers or file shares in Storage Explorer.

3D model file preview supports .gltf (>= v2.0), .glb, .stl, and .obj. All models must be self-contained in a single file. Models which reference assets from other files/folders are not supported.

Parallel File Transfers

You can now have up to five AzCopy transfers (i.e. uploads, downloads, or copies) running in parallel. As a reminder, AzCopy will do its best to use all available system and network resources. Therefore, if you run into performance issues while running concurrent transfers, consider making use of the following settings to tune AzCopy's behavior:

• Transfers → AzCopy → Maximum Transfer Rate: controls the maximum amount of network bandwidth an individual AzCopy process will use at once.
• Transfers → AzCopy → Network Concurrency: controls the maximum number of HTTP connections an individual AzCopy process will use at once, consider using Adjust dynamically as an initial solution to network congestion.
• Transfers → AzCopy → File Concurrency: controls the maximum number of files an individual AzCopy process will access at once.

Windows ARM64 Preview

Storage Explorer for Windows ARM64 is now available for preview. In Windows ARM64 Storage Explorer, all binaries and executables other than AzCopy natively target ARM64. This greatly reduces the amount of emulation used to run Storage Explorer, leading to better performance and battery life.

We encourage users on Windows ARM64 devices to try the preview and share your feedback. We will be working towards the general availability of Storage Explorer for Windows ARM64 in the near future, and all feedback helps towards this goal. You can download the latest version of the preview here.

General Data Explorer Improvements

Double Click to Resize Data Explorer Columns

You can now double click on the right-border of columns to automatically resize the column to be the minimum size needed to fit its content.

Sorting Datetimes with Nanosecond Precision

When sorting a column in a data explorer which contains datetimes with nanosecond precision, the nanosecond component of the datetime will now be taken into account.

Headers Included When Copying Rows

When using a Copy Rows command in any data explorer which shows tabular data, the values for the headers of the tabular data are also now copied to the clipboard.

File Extension Column in File Data Explorer

The file data explorer now includes a File Extension column. This column simply shows the file extension (including a leading dot) of any file in a file share.

Blob Version ID in Blob Data Explorer

The blob data explorer now includes a Version ID column. This column will show the version ID for any blob with a version ID, even the current version. The version ID for any blob can also now be found when inspecting its properties via the Properties... command.

.NET 8

Storage Explorer now depends on .NET 8. For users on Windows, this means the Storage Explorer installer will prompt you to install a .NET 8 runtime if you do not already have it installed. For users on Linux, this means you will need to self-install a .NET 8 runtime if you do not already have it installed. For users on macOS, there is no action required.

Electron 29

Storage Explorer is now using Electron 29.
