There is actually only a single layer of containers  You can virtually create a  file-system  like layered storage  but in reality everything will be in 1 layer  the container in which it is   For creating a virtual  file-system  like storage  you can have blob names that contain a     so that you can do whatever you like with the way you store  Also  the great thing is that you can search for a blob at a virtual level  by giving a partial string  up to a        These 2 things  adding a     to a path and a partial string for search  together create a virtual  file-system  storage

Wanted to add the UI portal Way to do as well  In case you want to create the folder structure  you would have to do it with the complete path for each file   You need to Click on Upload Blob  Expand the Advanced and put it the path saying  quot Upload to Folder quot  So Lets say you have a folder assets you want to upload and the content of the folder look like below  And if you have a folder under js folder with name main js  you need to type in the path  quot assets js quot  in upload to folder  Now This has to be done for each file  In case you have a lot of file  its recommended you do it programmatically

As  Egon mentioned above  there is no real folder management in BLOB storage   You can achieve some features of a file system using     in the file name  but this has many limitations  for example  what happen if you need to rename a  folder      As a general rule  I would keep my files as flat as possible in a container  and have my application manage whatever structure I want to expose to the end users  for example manage a nested folder structure in my database  have a record for each file  referencing the BLOB using container-name and file-name
