# Azure Blob Storage

UI Bakery allows you to easily connect to Azure blob storage without additional layers like APIs or third-party services.

## Configuration

### Prerequisites

To establish a connection between UI Bakery and Azure blob storage, you must first [obtain the connection string](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/storage/common/storage-account-keys-manage?toc=%2Fazure%2Fstorage%2Fblobs%2Ftoc.json\&bc=%2Fazure%2Fstorage%2Fblobs%2Fbreadcrumb%2Ftoc.json\&tabs=azure-portal#view-account-access-keys) from your storage account.

### Connecting the data source

Once you have the connection string, navigate to the *Data sources* page and select **Azure Blob Storage** in the list of data sources. \
Paste your connection string, test the connection, and proceed to connecting the data source.

## Usage

Once you've establish the connection, you can start interacting with your Blob Storage directly from UI Bakery.

For this purpose, use the [Azure Blob Storage Query](/reference/working-with-actions/azure-blob-storage-query.md) action step.
