1. Get Access

  1. Provide your email (or list of emails) to your Enaimco contact.

  2. Enaimco will add your account(s) as External Users in our Microsoft tenant.

  3. You will be notified once access is ready.

2. Install and Sign In

  1. Open the app and select Azure as the sign-in method.

  2. In your web browser, log in using the same Microsoft credentials you provided to Enaimco.

  3. You should now see your company name listed under your account in the left-hand panel. Keep this subscription selected.

3. Navigate to the Upload Container

  1. In the top-left corner, click Explorer.

  2. In the left-hand tree, expand the path:
    Your Company Name > Storage Accounts > yourcompanynameupload > Blob Containers > upload

  3. Select the upload container (you may want to pin it to Quick Access for convenience).

4. Upload Your Data

  1. In the top menu, click Upload > Upload Folder…

  2. In the dialog under Selected folder, choose the top-level folder you want to upload.

    • All subfolders and files inside will be included automatically.

  3. Leave other settings at their defaults and confirm.

5. Monitor the Upload

  • You’ll see progress under Activities at the bottom of Storage Explorer.

  • The status may first show Initializing, then change to show progress (0%, 1%, etc.).

  • Upload time depends on file size and could range from minutes to hours.

6. Best Practices

  • Keep your computer awake during the upload (locked is fine).

  • If prompted about overwriting a file, it’s safe to select Overwrite in this upload container.

  • For large transfers, let your Enaimco contact know before starting so we can monitor and assist if needed.

Once uploaded, Enaimco will securely move your files to their final storage location.
