# Set up Azure Storage account with file share

If you run the AS2 web app in the AS2 inbound process, it stores the data in EDI message files in the general storage location. Usually, the general storage location is defined by an Azure Storage account.

You can create an Azure Storage account or, if you already have an Azure Storage account, use that one. For more information, refer to [Create an Azure storage account](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/storage/common/storage-account-create?tabs=azure-portal).

In the storage account, create the file share where the EDI message files must be stored by the AS2 web app. For more information, refer to [Create a file share](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/storage/files/storage-how-to-create-file-share?tabs=azure-portal#create-file-share).
