I'm working in a company that uses Azure cloud storage, and my task is to download files from the cloud server and create a physical backup on an external hard drive. The problem I'm facing is that when I download a file, it saves with a random name instead of the original. For example, a file named GP24-xxxx.tif downloads as 9a453a49cc0ef3d617bb50c17231bbb0.tif. I can rename them manually, but that would take forever. I'm looking for a solution to download the files with their intended names. Does anyone know why this is happening and how I can fix it?

Have you tried using Azure Storage Explorer? It might help with downloading your files while preserving their original names. Here's some info on it: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/storage/storage-explorer/vs-azure-tools-storage-manage-with-storage-explorer?tabs=windows. Also, what specific backup needs are you trying to address? I can suggest better strategies if I understand your situation more clearly.
I don't have admin access, just a normal account with download privileges. I can only access the site through Chrome or Edge.
