How can I find a storage account from its container name?
Asked by

I have the name of a container but I'm not sure what the associated storage account is. I can either use the Azure CLI or the Azure Portal to find this out. However, I want to avoid using Storage Explorer as I find it lacking in certain features. Any tips on how to track down the storage account?

I ended up writing a shell script to do this instead since I prefer avoiding PowerShell on Windows. It worked out well for me!

Unfortunately, containers don't have a global uniqueness, so there's no direct way to find the storage account just from the container name. A good approach would be to write a simple PowerShell script that checks all your accessible storage accounts and looks for the container name you're after. That's how you can find what you're looking for.
