Hello All,
Can you please advise on the following: Azure Storage Explorer - Unable to transfer files without VPN

There are people using Azure Storage Explorer with and without VPN. The ones that are using Azure Storage Explorer within VPN don't seem to be able to transfer file in another way. They want to actually be able to transfer files with a faster speed.

The settings of the users that are able to transfer the file without UPN were also checked and compared with the affected users but there are no differences.

ASE configuration in order to bypass the proxy was modified and the user was able to transfer files without VPN. However, after testing, the configuration settings were reverted back to its default state.

Below two parameters were added to bypass proxy:

"transfers.azCopy.enable": true,
"transfers.azCopy.noProxy": true

But once the settings.json file is closed, the configurations get reverted to its original state causing the issue to persist.

Can you please advise how files can be transferred in Azure Storage Explorer WITHOUT bein connected to VPN?

Thank you

    @Martia
    It sounds like you are trying to bypass your proxy, but the setting is reverting. Please let me know if I am misunderstanding. Can you let me know which settings.json file you working with and where you found the parameters you mentioned?

    One option might be to set Azure Storage Explorer to use environment variables for the proxy. You could then setting the variables to dummy values like outlined in the AzCopy page.

    Please let me know if this helps or if you are still facing issues.
