Re: Web app large uploads and downloads
I haven't tried with hundreds of files uploaded in one batch, would need to start accounting for retry if they fail. But a few files of 100mb is no problem.

Re: Web app large uploads and downloads
I don't know Blazor, but there are a ton of pure Js file uploaders. One I like is https://www.dropzone.dev/ which should be able to be configured to upload directly to blog storage, ie not have to send the files to your webserver first https://stackoverflow.com/questions/35456197/upload-file-directly-to-azure-blob-storage-with-sas-using-dropzone-js On Sat, Dec 30, 2023 at 8:59 AM Greg Keogh via ozdotnet < ozdotnet@ozdotnet.com> wrote: > Folks (anyone working?) > > I've been asked to add a feature to a Blazor Webassembly app to allow > uploads and downloads of possibly large numbers of files between the local > file system and Blob storage.

Re: Blazor popularity and use
Unless you are required to deal with really old browsers (IE), then I just don't see this. I work on a site/app that has literally millions of users and we would spend less than 1% of the time on dealing with browser compatibility issues.

Re: Web app deploy without Visual Studio
Have you tried FTP deployment?
