Can I use Entra ID for authentication instead of connection strings?

Absolutely. The skill supports both Connection Strings and Entra ID via DefaultAzureCredential for secure, identity-based access control.

How does this handle large file uploads to Azure?

The skill provides patterns for streaming large files using chunks and range operations to minimize memory consumption and handle transfers efficiently.

Does this skill support asynchronous operations?

Yes, the skill includes implementation patterns for using the azure.storage.fileshare.aio module for non-blocking, asynchronous file operations.

Is it possible to manage snapshots for data recovery?

Yes, the skill includes operations to create share snapshots and access specific snapshot versions for point-in-time data recovery.
