# Create Azure Storage Account

You can use an Azure Storage Account to:

- Exchange data files between your D365 F&SCM environment and another environment, for example an on-premises environment. You use the Azure Storage Account in the **Azure file storage** or **Blob storage** connector setup.
- Store general Connectivity Studio files, for example, version management files and history report files. You use the Azure Storage Account in the **Connectivity studio parameter** setup.

You can:

- Create an Azure Storage Account.
- Use the Azure Storage Account of your D365 F&SCM environment. If a cloud-hosted D365 F&SCM environment is created with LCS, the related Azure Storage Account is automatically created. The default name of this Azure Storage Account is the same as the D365 F&SCM environment name.

> [!NOTE]
> **Note**
> 
> When you delete the D365 F&SCM environment, the related Azure Storage Account is also deleted.
