Azure Blob Storage is Microsoft Azure's s a cloud storage offering for storing large volumes of unstructured data such as text, video, audio, etc. With Azure Blob Storage, you can handle scalable workloads, streaming files and storing files for distributed access.

The key difference between Blob Storage and a file storage system is that while file storage is used for storing and sharing files, blob storage is used to store unstructured data and supports streaming capabilities and distributed access. Another advantage of using blob storage is its support for large-scale data workloads. File storage is typically used as a replacement for on-premise file servers.

In order to retrieve data from Azure Blob Storage, you can use either Azure Data Factory or programmatically using SDKs. You can also use a standalone command-line tool such as AzCopy or a Microsoft service such as SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS).
