Hi,
Does anybody have experience in Azure Blog Storage instead of CRM/ SharePoint storage?
I came across this codeplex plugin which seems a little bit outdated.
crmazureattachments.codeplex.com
I guess adding this will do:
azure.microsoft.com/.../storage-dotnet-how-to-use-blobs
Are there people willing to update this project? It will help a lot of CRM customers.

We have a challenge to store large attachment of our support requests into CRM. It storage is costly and the lousy coupled email interface do not fit since it does not allow attachments larger than 30MB. The technical solution might be that the PHP form will upload the blobs into Azure itself. Then the PHP form will create the case in CRM with links to the attachments in Azure. Incoming emails with attachments (automatically smaller than 30MB otherwise they will be refused by the email service) must be placed in the blob storage as well. Attachments that Support Agents add must also be stored in Azure Blob storage. For instance if a customer emails a large file through a service like ‘wetransfer.com’ that file must also be added to the case. The plug-in must therefor have a bit of CRUD functionality.
Summarising:
- Implement a plugin so that (large) attachments are stored in Azure Blob Storage instead of in CRM or SharePoint;
- Implement a Rest Api for among others a PHP web form so that a case is created directly into CRM;
- Implement a MVC form for testing purposes before handing over the Rest api to the PHP development team.
