Updating the Code to Add Images to Storage Account

<PackageReference Include="Azure.Storage.Blobs" Version="12.15.0" />

This will allow us to use the Azure storage account SDK.

        string containerName = "images-backup";
        BlobServiceClient blobServiceClient = new BlobServiceClient(connectionString);
        BlobContainerClient containerClient = blobServiceClient.GetBlobContainerClient(containerName);
        await containerClient.CreateIfNotExistsAsync();
        BlobClient blobClient = containerClient.GetBlobClient(fileName);
        await blobClient.UploadAsync(stream, true);
        }

  • The function, named UploadFileStreamToStorageAccount, performs the following operations:
