## How to Find Connection String

* **Option 1:** Get the connection string from your Storage Account's Access Keys:\
  [Microsoft documentation](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/answers/questions/1071173/where-can-i-find-storage-account-connection-string)

* **Option 2:** If you want to restrict access to the storage account, generate a **Shared Access Signature (SAS)** token and build the connection string:\
