The only solution that I found works was via the Azure SDK.

With Powershell & CLI, I faced multiple timeout errors as there were just too many files to parse. This tool does not provide any date filtering functions, nor ability to calculate statistics for multiple files. It is currently under Preview mode at time of writing. Storage Browser is the ‘Storage Explorer’ within the Azure portal. But both are similar to illustrate this concept. ** Note: Screenshot shown is just an example using Blob storage and not File Share. For my case where I had more than 100k files, this is not a feasible approach. Besides they have a m aximum of 100 cached items per page. This method only works for small number of files though, as there is no way to filter out files by dates. Click on “Selection Statistics” and it will show the file count and total size. We can easily sort files by “Last Modified” and highlight the files / folders that is within date range. The UI is simple and straight forward to use.

However, what is the best option in the scenario above? Azure Storage ExplorerĪzure Storage Explorer is a standalone tool that can be installed onto your system for easy operations with Azure Storage. It can be earlier!Īs we know, Azure provides a number of ways to interact with Azure Storage. Say for example, if I have 2 files, where their Date Modified is 20th March 2020 and 22nd March 2020, it does not mean the directory's 'Last Modified Date' is 22nd March 2020.

**Directory's 'Last Modified Date'** does not equate to the **lastest 'Last Modified Date' of the files within the directory**.
