# Azure Blob Storage

### Storage Connector – Azure Blob Storage

The Azure Blob Storage connector lets you push signed documents, attachments, and completion certificates from emSigner directly into an Azure Blob Storage container of your choice, giving you full control over where your signed documents reside.

**Navigation:** Settings → Storage Connectors for Document Repositories → Azure Blob Storage tab

The setup follows a two-step flow: **Test Connection → Activate**.

#### Sending Options

| Option                                                                   | Description                                                          |
| ------------------------------------------------------------------------ | -------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Include Signed documents only** *(selected by default)*                | Only the signed documents will be pushed to the selected connector.  |
| **Include attachments** *(selected by default)*                          | Attachments will also be included along with the signed documents.   |
| **Include completion certificate** *(optional, not selected by default)* | The completion certificate will be included in the connector upload. |

#### Configuration Fields

| Field                           | Description                                                                                     |
| ------------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Account Name** *(required)*   | The name of your Azure Storage account.                                                         |
| **Account Key** *(required)*    | The access key associated with your Azure Storage account, used to authenticate the connection. |
| **Container Name** *(required)* | The name of the blob container within the storage account where documents will be stored.       |

#### Steps to Configure

1. Go to **Settings** and click on **Storage Connectors for Document Repositories**.
2. Select the **Azure Blob Storage** tab.
3. Review the **Sending Options** — *Include Signed documents only* and *Include attachments* are enabled by default. Optionally, select **Include completion certificate**.
4. Enter the **Account Name**, **Account Key**, and **Container Name**.

1. Click **Generate test file** to validate the connection under **Step 1: Test Connection**.
2. Once the test succeeds, proceed to **Step 2: Activate** to enable the connector.

> **Note:** Until the connector is activated, documents will continue to follow the existing storage behavior. Once activated, this connector applies at the administrator level — all future signed documents from every user of the application, including internal users, will be pushed to the configured repository (matching the selected Sending Options).
