    @Amar-Azure-Practice Welcome to Microsoft Q&A, Thank you for posting your query here!

    I was able to mount azure blob storage using the third-party tool on Azure VM, this article will provide the steps to mount azure blob storage

    There is a similar threads discussion in the Stack-Overflow forum mounting Azure Blob Storage on Windows OS

    https://stackoverflow.com/questions/60417089/link-azure-blob-storage-to-computer
    https://stackoverflow.com/questions/56010675/how-can-we-mount-azure-blob-storage-as-a-network-drive-in-windows

    You can use Azure Blobfuse to mount on Azure VM

    Additional information: You can use Azure Storage Explorer (Free tool to easily manage your Azure cloud storage resources anywhere, from Windows, macOS, or Linux)

    Every soon this feature should be available in Azure Blob fuse, however I will check internally with the product team once for the conformation and share this feedback!

    Hope this helps!

    Kindly let us know if the above helps or you need further assistance on this issue.
