Azure Blob Storage For Storing Microsoft Dynamics 365 Attachments

In my Living In SCRIBE Online Blog I talked about work I did to migrate CRM 4.0 on-premise to Dynamics 365 using SCRIBE Online. In that blog I mentioned how there are about 80 GB worth of attachments that had to be moved into the cloud. Well this could quickly get expensive if we stored them directly in CRM. Also, this client wasn't using SharePoint. So what option do we have to store this data so end users can access the data? Why not use Azure Blob Storage?

Microsoft has an app in AppSource to move attachments from CRM to Azure blob storage. Not only does it all for this, but it also has a web resource in it so you can allow for bulk uploads. Here is how to set it up:

1) Go To AppSource
2) Install the Attachment Management App by clicking the "Get It Now" button under the image.
3) While its installing go to Azure and setup your blob storage account.
4) For each CRM instance you will need to setup 2 containers in your blob storage. One is for email attachments …

Updated To Version 1.7 - Azure Blob Storage For Storing Microsoft Dynamics 365 Attachments

In another post I talked about using Azure Blob Storage to store CRM attachments in Azure rather then in CRM. Today I installed the app in a clients CRM system and found that Microsoft Labs updated the App to version 1.7. This change had a lot of updates from UI to how to setup notes attachment movement. Also they now allow for moving of existing attachments. Here is the updated steps:

1) Go To AppSource
2) Install the Attachment Management App by clicking the "Get It Now" button under the image.
3) While its installing go to Azure and setup your blob storage account.
4) For each CRM instance you will need to setup 2 containers in your blob storage. One is for email attachments and the other is for notes attachments. So if you have a production instance and sandbox instance you will need to have 4 containers (DevEmails, DevNotes, ProdEmails, ProdNotes). If you want to separate note attachments by entity, then create one container per entity. The DevNotes or ProdNote…
