# Azure Blob Storage
If you're new to Unstructured, read this note first.
Before you can create a destination connector, you must first sign in to your Unstructured account:
* If you do not already have an Unstructured account, [sign up for free](https://unstructured.io/?modal=try-for-free). After you sign up, you are automatically signed in to your new Unstructured **Let's Go** account, at [https://platform.unstructured.io](https://platform.unstructured.io).
To sign up for a **Business** account instead, [contact Unstructured Sales](https://unstructured.io/?modal=contact-sales), or [learn more](/ui/overview#how-am-i-billed%3F).
* If you already have an Unstructured **Let's Go**, **Pay-As-You-Go**, or **Business SaaS** account and are not already signed in, sign in to your account at
[https://platform.unstructured.io](https://platform.unstructured.io). For other types of **Business** accounts, see your Unstructured account administrator for sign-in instructions,
or email Unstructured Support at [support@unstructured.io](mailto:support@unstructured.io).
After you sign in, the [Unstructured user interface](/ui/overview) (UI) appears, which you use to create your destination connector.
After you create the destination connector, add it along with a
[source connector](/ui/sources/overview) to a [workflow](/ui/workflows). Then run the worklow as a
[job](/ui/jobs). To learn how, try out the [hands-on UI quickstart](/ui/quickstart#remote-quickstart) or watch the 4-minute
[video tutorial](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wn2FfHT6H-o).
You can also create destination connectors with the Unstructured API.
[Learn how](/api-reference/workflow/destinations/overview).
If you need help, email Unstructured Support at [support@unstructured.io](mailto:support@unstructured.io).
You are now ready to start creating a destination connector! Keep reading to learn how.
Send processed data from Unstructured to Azure Blob Storage.
The requirements are as follows.
The following video shows how to fulfill the minimum set of Azure Storage account requirements:
If you are generating an SAS token as shown in the preceding video, be sure to set the following permissions:
* **Read** and **List** for reading from the container only.
* **Write** and **List** for writing to the container only.
* **Read**, **Write**, and **List** for both reading from and writing to the container.
Here are some more details about these requirements:
* An Azure account. To create one, [learn how](https://azure.microsoft.com/pricing/purchase-options/azure-account).
* An Azure Storage account, and a container within that account. [Create a storage account](https://learn.microsoft.com/azure/storage/common/storage-account-create). [Create a container](https://learn.microsoft.com/azure/storage/blobs/blob-containers-portal).
* The Azure Storage remote URL, using the format `az:///`
For example, if your container is named `my-container`, and there is a folder in the container named `my-folder`, the
Azure Storage remote URL would be `az://my-container/my-folder/`.
* An SAS token (recommended), access key, or connection string for the Azure Storage account. [Create an SAS token (recommended)](https://learn.microsoft.com/azure/ai-services/translator/document-translation/how-to-guides/create-sas-tokens). [Get an access key](https://learn.microsoft.com/azure/storage/common/storage-account-keys-manage#view-account-access-keys). [Get a connection string](https://learn.microsoft.com/azure/storage/common/storage-configure-connection-string#configure-a-connection-string-for-an-azure-storage-account).

To create the destination connector:
1. On the sidebar, click **Connectors**.
2. Click **Destinations**.
3. Cick **New** or **Create Connector**.
4. Give the connector some unique **Name**.
5. In the **Provider** area, click **Azure Blob Storage**.
6. Click **Continue**.
7. Follow the on-screen instructions to fill in the fields as described later on this page.
8. Click **Save and Test**.
Fill in the following fields:
* **Name** (*required*): A unique name for this connector.
* **Recursive** (source connector only): Check this box to recursively access files from subfolders within the container.
* **Remote URL** (*required*): The Azure Storage remote URL, with the format `az:///`
For example, if your container is named `my-container`, and there is a folder in the container named `my-folder`, the
Azure Storage remote URL would be `az://my-container/my-folder/`.
* **Account Name**: For SAS token authentication and account key authentication, the Azure Storage account name.
* **SAS Token**: For SAS token authentication, the SAS token for the Azure Storage account.
* **Account Key**: For account key authentication, the key for the Azure Storage account.
* **Connection String**: For connection string authentication, the connection string for the Azure Storage account.
