title: Mount azure blob storage as a drive in Linux
body: <p>Is there a way to mount an Azure blob account as a drive in a linux machine, and have the files show up as file blobs in the Azure portal?  I know I can mount an Azure blob as a disk, but when I'm done, I just have a disk.  I'm looking to backup a few critical files from an Azure VM, and don't really want to rig up SDK calls.  I'd rather a cron rsync a directory -- added benefit: it prunes.  I'm familiar with <a href="https://rclone.org/azureblob/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">rclone</a> and <a href="https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/storage/common/storage-use-azcopy" rel="nofollow noreferrer">AzCopy</a>, but both require I bake azure secrets into the command line.  Is there a blob mount way to do it instead of a separate install?</p>
