Hi All,
Anyone who used Azure blob storage for storing unstructured data, could you provide some insights on its ease of integrations, maintainability and performance. Also, are there any other alternatives (apart from sharepoint and Appian document repository) for storing unstructured data?

This is such a broad question! Close to the meaning of life.
Can you describe in more detail what you are looking for?
We are planning to build an app that requires to store and use lots of unstructured data (Docs, photos, videos etc). We do have sharepoint, but we already have used considerable amount of its storage for other purposes and not keen to use it for this app. So, we are looking for alternate options.
Many alternatives but the main one is Amazon S3.

I did some integrations to Azure Blob in the past, and the only issue is, than with normal Appian integrations, you can only upload a limited file size. Blob storage supports uploading in chunks, which Appian cannot. Some sort of plugin would be necessary to make this happen. This also might, or might not, apply to other services.
