This storage account's 'Firewalls & virtual networks' settings may be blocking access to storage services. Try adding your client IP address to the firewall exceptions, or by allowing access from 'all networks' instead of 'selected networks'.

@ParthibanZF
- How are you connecting to your blob container (sign in, attachment)?
- How are you authenticating (sign in, account name and key, SAS)?
- Do you have sufficient permissions to connect to the blob container (RBAC roles, keys allowed, or SAS permissions, etc.)?
How are you connecting to your blob container (sign in, attachment)? Sign in How are you authenticating (sign in, account name and key, SAS)? Sign In Do you have sufficient permissions to connect to the blob container (RBAC roles, keys allowed, or SAS permissions, etc.)? Yes, I have all the required permissions which other colleagues have.
@ParthibanZF Some additional follow-up questions:
- Does signing out and signing back in resolve the issue?
- What is your current sign in method (Settings > Application > Sign In > Sign in with)? Does changing it resolve the issue?
- Are you able to view the contents of your blob container using the Storage Browser feature in the Azure Portal?
- Are you attempting to connect through a proxy server?
- Does the storage account containing the blob container have any additional security configurations, such as disabling key authentication, network restrictions, etc.?
