# Set up Azure file storage connector

Set up a connector of type **Azure file storage**. Use this type to exchange data files between your D365 F&SCM environment (on-cloud or on-premises) and another environment, for example an on-premises environment.

With the **Azure file storage** type connector, you can exchange these external file-based documents: **EDI**, **Fixed text**, **Microsoft Word**, **Microsoft Excel**, **Text**, **XML**, **JSON**.

You can exchange data files using:

- Azure File Storage: You can use an Azure Storage Account to exchange data files between your D365 F&SCM environment (on-cloud or on-premises) and another environment, for example an on-premises environment.
- Local folders: If you use Connectivity Studio on a D365 F&SCM (on-premises) environment, you can choose to use local Windows folders to exchange data files.

> [!NOTE]
> Note
> 
> With this connector type, you exchange files between your D365 F&SCM environment and another environment. If the other environment has no access to the shared folder or local folder, you can use [file actions](/data-management/docs/set-up-file-actions-for-a-connector) to transfer the files to a location where the other environment can access the files.
