How to limit upload speed in Azure Storage Explorer?

How to limit upload speed in Azure Storage Explorer?

We have the option to use --cap-mbps to limit upload speed while using AzCopy command.

Is there any option like this while using Azure Storage Explorer tool?

@PrakashMBhanu-2855 This feature is available under settings in Azure Storage Explorer

If you are looking for something more specific you can post here. All the feedback you share in these forums
will be monitored and reviewed by the Microsoft engineering teams responsible for building Azure.


Additional information: For now you can use the AzCopy v10, there's a parameter that lets you directly specify a cap on the amount of bandwidth it uses. E.g. --cap-mbps 200 will limit it to a max of 200 Mbps.

Using Azcopy , you can investigate what it tells you. E.g. network error rate, CPU contention etc.

Instructions on running AzCopy benchmarks are here: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/storage/common/storage-ref-azcopy-bench
AzCopy can be downloaded here: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/storage/common/storage-use-azcopy-v10

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

Hi @PrakashMBhanu-2855

There is no option in storage explorer to limit upload speed.

Azure Storage Explorer is a GUI application developed by Microsoft to simplify access to data stored in Azure storage accounts. Storage Explorer is a native cross-platform tool that enables users to connect to their Azure Storage Accounts, Azure Cosmos DB, and Azure Data Lake.

@PrakashMBhanu-2855
Azure Storage itself won't provide a specific throttle setting. However: Given that a blob upload is essentially a series of REST-based block blob PUT operations, you could do your own throttling by doing your own upload implementation and choosing how frequently to upload blocks to a given blob.
