Our customer is using Azure’s blob storage service to save big files so that we can work with them using an Azure online service.

We want to read and work with these files with a computing resource obtained by Azure directly without downloading them into another Azure service, like Azure Machine Learning Studio.

Until now, we are unable to access the data within the blob storage without downloading them into Azure Machine Learning Studio for working with them.  

Moreover, none of the files which we want to read is a type of these:

However, they can be read with the help of a python extension.  

How can we access the data within the blob storage without downloading them beforehand?  

Is it possible with Azure to **mount** the blob storage to Machine Learning Studio anyhow?  

For your information: We do not need to use Azure Machine Learning Studio, but an Azure online service with a computing resource.
