How To Mount File Share As Network Drive Using Point to Site (P2S) VPN

Azure Files offers fully managed file shares in the cloud using the SMB protocol. Azure file shares can be mounted concurrently by cloud or on-premises deployments of Windows, Linux, and macOS. Additionally, Azure file shares can be cached on Windows Servers with Azure File Sync for fast access near where the data is being used.

You can use a Point-to-Site (P2S) VPN connection to mount your Azure file shares over SMB from outside of Azure, without opening up port 445. For this, you can configure a Point-to-Site (P2S) VPN for use with Azure Files. A Point-to-Site VPN connection is a VPN connection between Azure and an individual client.
