Description
Preflight Checklist
- I have installed the latest version of Storage Explorer.
- I have checked existing resources, including the troubleshooting guide and the release notes.
- I have searched for similar issues.
Problem
I have been given a SAS URL for a VHD and would like to be able to directly copy it to a blob container using Azure Storage Explorer rather than having to use azcopy from the command line.
Desired Solution
Include an option to use a SAS URL as the source for the "Upload" feature or provide an option to "attach" an individual blob using a SAS URL.
Alternatives and Workarounds
Using azcopy from the command line allows me to copy directly from a SAS URL to a blob container if I get a writeable SAS URL to the blob container.

Research direction
Start by tracing the Storage Explorer Upload feature and how it accepts sources, then review the SAS URL workflow described in the issue. Done means a user can copy a blob identified by a SAS URL directly into a blob container without using azcopy, either through Upload or an attach option.
