It's unfortunate that the Blob Store API wasn't named "Small File Store API" to convey to users its intended purpose.
That said, maybe you could use the same technique as is recommended for large synonym files: Break them into a sequence of smaller files and then take advantage of the fact that the synonym file parameter allows a comma-separated list of file names to be specified. Clearly that wouldn't work if you had to specify 2,000 files to get your 4GB in 2MB increments, but maybe you could name the files with a trailing sequence number and then use a wildcard to specify the common prefix for the files. -- Jack Krupansky On Tue, Oct 20, 2015 at 8:19 AM, Shalin Shekhar Mangar < shalinman...@gmail.com> wrote: > No, the maximum size is limited to 2MB for now.
