Connect Azure Websites (Wordpress) to Storage Account - wordpress

I am using Azure Websites to host my Wordpress Site.
But my website receive a lot of videos and photos uploaded by users.
My 10GB quota is about to excede.
Asked to Azure support and they said to create a Storage Account but they can't help me how to connect my website to the Storage Account. They told me to ask here... so here I am ;)
Anyone can help me how to connect a Storage Account to a Wordpress website in Azure Websites?
Thanks!

Found this awesome plugin which connects both services:
Windows Azure Storage for WordPress
http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/windows-azure-storage/
Before install it, make sure to link to the service and get the primary key of the storage.

First thing that you should is to:
Create azure storage
Create a container inside of it
Copy access key and storage name
On your site of wordpress:
Install a plugin called: Microsoft azure storage
Go to your WordPress site, and in settings search for Microsoft azure storage
Put your informations that you've copied from azure, like key, and name of storage account.
PS: IF AFTER THAT YOUR CONTAINER IS NOT SHOWING ON WORDPRESS YOU SHOULD FORCE THE AZURE STORAGE BY INJECTING A PART OF CODE INSIDE WORDPRESS FILE CONFIGURATION: WP-CONFIG.PHP AND COPY THE CODE BELOW:
MICROSOFT_AZURE_ACCOUNT_NAME – Account Name
MICROSOFT_AZURE_ACCOUNT_KEY – Account Primary Access Key
MICROSOFT_AZURE_CONTAINER – Azure Blob Container
MICROSOFT_AZURE_CNAME – Domain: must start with http(s)://
MICROSOFT_AZURE_USE_FOR_DEFAULT_UPLOAD – boolean (default false)

Use dynamic links on main domain but without transferring to firebase hosting

We have a flutter application in which we integrated "dynamic links".
However, we'd like to activate the links on the main domain (example.com) directly, while keeping the website hosted on another hosting provider than firebase hosting.
So if we pointed the A records to firebase hosting, the website will not be working anymore.
How can this be achieved?
Example: when you search for olx.com.eg in Google, it automatically opens the application if I'm using mobile browser The key point is that they are using the same domain as a dynamic link and for website hosting through AWS
Thanks.

Uploading images from Azure blob storage to Wordpress

So I know it's possible to grab images from Azure blob storage and getting all the links, but would it be possible to retrieve all the images and upload them to WordPress Media Library?
You might want to try doing a quick search online before posting here, but yes I believe this should be possible.
Assuming you already have your images in Azure
get the Windows Azure Storage for WordPress Plugin
grab the access key from Azure, you can find this under Azure Storage Account’s Settings > Access Keys blade)
in WordPress settings, under Windows Azure, put in the Azure credentials you just grabbed
create a new container in WordPress, and select 'Use Windows Azure Storage when uploading via WordPress’
now that you have the plugin installed and configured you should be able to once in the WordPress Edit screen you can just go Add Media button > Insert Media > U[load Files tab and you'll be able to now point to Azure Blob Storage and grab images

Google Cloud Storage - Restrict access to files to a specific domain

I am using Google Cloud Storage for my WordPress website and I would like to know if there is a way to restrict access to my files so that only my domain will be able to access them. I tried Google Search but I couldn't find anything. Could you please tell me if I can do that and how?
From your question it is not clear for which purpose you wish to use Cloud Storage for your website.
You can look at this article with respect to Cloud Storage access control. I would recommend looking at IAM since I believe your want to allow domain access to all the files in Cloud Storage.
In general, if you want to host your WordPress website on Google Cloud, several options are available:
WordPress Single Instance using Cloud Launcher
WordPress on Kubernetes Engine
WordPress on App Engine
If you want to integrate WordPress with Google Cloud products, like Cloud Storage, there are plugins available from the Google Cloud Platform GitHub repository.

Migrating Data to Google Cloud

I recently bought Google Cloud services and want to migrate my wordpress website from my current hosting service (which uses CPanel) to Google Cloud. I already have a project and instance created on Google Cloud but I can't seem to understand how to connect it with FTP or through webUI so that I can upload my already existing web files.
Well you can use a plugin for migrating your WordPress website. For example: https://wordpress.org/plugins/duplicator/

Are Websites Hosted on Azure with Dreamspark subscriptions publicly accessible?

I'm a computer science student with a Microsoft Dreamspark subscription. I recently created a website which I'm trying to host on Azure. The website URL is nickgilbert.azurewebsites.net. Whenever anybody besides me tries to access it they get hit with a sign-in wall prompting the user to sign into their Microsoft account. Can I fix this so the website is publicly accessible or does Dreamspark only let the subscription holder see the website?
Hosting of Azure apps from dreamspart subscript are free of cost. Are you using any Authentication mechanism in your website? Make sure you have anonymous access enabled to your default page in your app.
Yes, Azure student web sites are open to the world you simply need the url..
Did you set this up using a template? Here some instructions of how to setup a ASP.NET web site on Azure Cloud http://showtheworld.info/Quick_Start_Azure_Webapp.pdf
