Data export from Microsoft Azure Storage Explorer

Good afternoon,

I wonder if someone can help.

I need to download some data from the Microsoft Azure Storage Explorer and for some reason, I can't even connect properly as I keep getting errors after errors.

I’ve also attached the instructions I’m trying to follow, but they just don’t seem to match with what I can see on my end.

Account:

Quick Access Tab :

Blob container:

There I should have access to the download button and start downloading my data, but it doesn’t work.

Then I get an error:

Unable to retrieve child resources.

Details:
{
"name": "FetchError",
"message": "request to http://127.0.0.1:10000/devstoreaccount1?include=metadata&comp=list failed, reason: connect ECONNREFUSED 127.0.0.1:10000",
"stack": "FetchError: request to http://127.0.0.1:10000/devstoreaccount1?include=metadata&comp=list failed, reason: connect ECONNREFUSED 127.0.0.1:10000\n at ClientRequest.<anonymous> (C:\Users\BLUE PERSONNEL\AppData\Local\Programs\Microsoft Azure Storage Explorer\resources\app\node_modules\node-fetch\lib\index.js:1461:11)\n at ClientRequest.emit (events.js:310:20)\n at Socket.socketErrorListener (_http_client.js:426:9)\n at Socket.emit (events.js:310:20)\n at emitErrorNT (internal/streams/destroy.js:92:8)\n at emitErrorAndCloseNT (internal/streams/destroy.js:60:3)\n at processTicksAndRejections (internal/process/task_queues.js:84:21)",
"type": "system",
"errno": "ECONNREFUSED",
"code": "ECONNREFUSED"
}

And looks like there is an issue here :

Another error here:

120253-error-details.png

Not sure what’s going on there, but I really need to download that data before I lose it completely as the link will expire in 7 days.

That data comes from another company that stored for me while I was their client, but the contract ended and now they shared the download details with me but looks like I cannot access it for whatever reason.

Is there any chance you can help me out here?

    @Blue Personnel
    It looks like you are trying to access data through the Storage Emulator which is why you are seeing the 127.0.0.1 IP address and it is failing. From previous screenshots it seems you added a tenant called Free Trial and I am expecting this is what you are intending to access. Try collapsing the Local & Attached section and clicking on Storage Accounts under Free Trial.

    If that doesn't work let me know how you are adding the Storage Account to Storage Explorer. You might also try downloading the data directly using AzCopy.
