Please see the pages for Azure Files and Azure Managed Disks for more details on pricing. You can also use the Azure Pricing Calculator for a detailed estimation of your costs.
Azure also provides free billing and subscription support. If you have further questions regarding pricing I recommend reaching out to them. https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/support/options/

Franco Ricardo Schivardi 6 Reputation points2020-07-18T23:04:31.663+00:00 Azure Managed Disk are used as block-level storage volumes that are managed by Azure and used with Azure VMs (It will be stored as a .VHD file). You have 3 options, Standard HDD/SSD, Premium SSD and Ultra Disks.
Azure File offers fully managed file shares in the cloud that are accessible via SMB protocol. Azure File shares can be mounted (attached) by both on-premises and cloud machines. Also, applications can mount a file storage share to access file data, just as a desktop application would mount a typical SMB share.I hope this answered your question.
Best regards!
