Description

Preflight Checklist
Problem

I am trying to get a breakdown of blob storage totals, arranged by storage account

Desired Solution

I'd think there would be a way to do an analysis of a storage group and get a list of the storage accounts within the group and the total storage of the blobs for each. I would like to get it in a spreadsheet, but plain text would work too.

Alternatives and Workarounds

No response

Additional Context

I have several storage groups, but most of my clients are storing files in one group, under individual account folders. The blobs that are stored are easy enough to calculate one at a time, using the Folder Statistics button. However, it is getting time consuming to choose a folder, expand it until I see the main storage folder for them, select it and click the button. I believe it should be possible to just generate a report that gives me all of that.

Research direction

Start by reviewing the existing Folder Statistics button and how Storage Explorer navigates storage groups, accounts, and folders. Determine whether the requested report should cover all accounts in a group and which output formats are required. Done means producing accurate per-account blob totals without manually opening each account or folder.
