[<CommonParameters>] Description
The Get-AzStorageFileContent cmdlet downloads the contents of a file, and then saves it to a destination that you specify. This cmdlet does not return the contents of the file.
Examples
Example 1: Download a file from a folder
Get-AzStorageFileContent -ShareName "ContosoShare06" -Path "ContosoWorkingFolder/CurrentDataFile"This command downloads a file that is named CurrentDataFile in the folder ContosoWorkingFolder from the file share ContosoShare06 to current folder.
Example 2: Downloads the files under sample file share
Get-AzStorageFile -ShareName sample | Where-Object {$_.GetType().Name -eq "CloudFile"} | Get-AzStorageFileContentThis example downloads the files under sample file share
Example 3: Download an Azure file to a local file, and perserve the Azure File SMB properties (File Attributtes, File Creation Time, File Last Write Time) in the local file.
Get-AzStorageFileContent -ShareName sample -Path "dir1/file1" -Destination $localFilePath -PreserveSMBAttributeThis example downloads an Azure file to a local file, and perserves the Azure File SMB properties (File Attributtes, File Creation Time, File Last Write Time) in the local file.
Parameters
-AsJob
Run cmdlet in the background.
| Type: | SwitchParameter |
| Position: | Named |
| Default value: | None |
| Required: | False |
| Accept pipeline input: | False |
| Accept wildcard characters: | False |
-CheckMd5
Specifies whether to check the Md5 sum for the downloaded file.
| Type: | SwitchParameter |
| Position: | Named |
| Default value: | None |
| Required: | False |
| Accept pipeline input: | False |
| Accept wildcard characters: | False |
-ClientTimeoutPerRequest
Specifies the client-side time-out interval, in seconds, for one service request. If the previous call fails in the specified interval, this cmdlet retries the request. If this cmdlet does not receive a successful response before the interval elapses, this cmdlet returns an error.
| Type: | Nullable<T>[Int32] |
| Aliases: | ClientTimeoutPerRequestInSeconds |
| Position: | Named |
| Default value: | None |
| Required: | False |
| Accept pipeline input: | False |
| Accept wildcard characters: | False |
-ConcurrentTaskCount
Specifies the maximum concurrent network calls. You can use this parameter to limit the concurrency to throttle local CPU and bandwidth usage by specifying the maximum number of concurrent network calls. The specified value is an absolute count and is not multiplied by the core count. This parameter can help reduce network connection problems in low bandwidth environments, such as 100 kilobits per second. The default value is 10.
| Type: | Nullable<T>[Int32] |
| Position: | Named |
| Default value: | None |
| Required: | False |
| Accept pipeline input: | False |
| Accept wildcard characters: | False |
-Confirm
Prompts you for confirmation before running the cmdlet.

| Accept wildcard characters: | False |
-Context
Specifies an Azure Storage context. To obtain a context, use the New-AzStorageContext cmdlet.
| Type: | IStorageContext |
| Position: | Named |
| Default value: | None |
| Required: | False |
| Accept pipeline input: | True |
| Accept wildcard characters: | False |
-DefaultProfile
The credentials, account, tenant, and subscription used for communication with Azure.

-Destination
Specifies the destination path. This cmdlet downloads the file contents to the location that this parameter specifies. If you specify the path of a file that does not exist, this cmdlet creates that file, and saves the contents in the new file. If you specify a path of a file that already exists and you specify the Force parameter, the cmdlet overwrites the file. If you specify a path of an existing file and you do not specify Force, the cmdlet prompts you before it continues. If you specify the path of a folder, this cmdlet attempts to create a file that has the name of the Azure storage file.
| Type: | String |
| Position: | 2 |
| Default value: | None |
| Required: | False |
| Accept pipeline input: | False |
| Accept wildcard characters: | False |
