What type of storage should be used for setting up Azure files?

Files
Blobs
Queues
Tables

The correct answer is: Files

Azure Files is specifically designed for file share storage services in the cloud, making "Files" the correct choice. This service allows users to create fully managed file shares in the cloud that can be accessed via the SMB (Server Message Block) protocol. It enables easy storage and sharing of files across different applications and services in Azure, as well as on-premises systems. Azure Files supports scenarios where you need to store files that can be accessed by multiple clients, seamlessly integrating with existing applications that rely on traditional file sharing mechanisms. In contrast, "Blobs" refer to Azure Blob Storage, which is optimized for storing unstructured data such as text or binary data, including images and multimedia. This is not the primary function of Azure Files. "Queues" and "Tables" serve completely different purposes in Azure – Queues are used for message storage and communication between different services, while Tables are for structured NoSQL storage for large amounts of data. Thus, while all storage types have their roles in Azure, only Azure Files provides the appropriate file-sharing capabilities needed for setting up Azure files.
