Browse large number of files in Azure Storage Explorer

Question

I have a large number of files in one of our datalake folders. I use Azure Storage Explorer to finddownload specific files. If I need the latest files, which is usually the case, I go through all the pages to get to last one and this takes a lot of time. Is there an easier way to do this? Or perhaps setup the folder in a descending order based on created timestamp?

Answer 1

If I understand correctly, the latest file is the file which created/upload latest.

We usually using Last Modified to get the latest file. For example, I have 300+ blobs in a folder, the Last Modified can help me get the latest file in the first row no matter how many pages I have.

If you have any other concerns, please feel free to let me know, thank you.

But if there are very large number of files, just for now, there isn't a good solution for it.

HTH.
