Hi,

Why is it taking too long to display folders in my blob container? I tried the new storage explorer and it is the same.... weird thing is the storage explorer will show... "Showing 1 to 2 of 2 cached items"... then after a while will show "Showing 1 to 4 of 4 cached items" meaning there is a delay......

Anything I need to check in my storage why certain folders with lots of files is taking a long time?

    @JoelP May I know which version of Azure Storage Explorer are you using? Are you facing same issue in Azure Portal?

    Try to delete data from "%appData/StorageExplorer" folder from your machine. After deleting, when you launch storage explorer you will be ask to reenter your credentials.

    Additional information: There is no throttling on the Azure side.

    Can you share the screenshot?

    Install the latest version on Azure Storage Explorer: https://github.com/Microsoft/AzureStorageExplorer/releases

    looking forward for your reply!
