When you try to access the desired offline cloud storage ( container ) on azure portal you will get :-

Error code 403 : This request is not authorized to perform this operation.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

  • This request is not authorized to perform this operation. RequestId:3a4ba6b8-b01e-0015-0bcc-ea250b000000 Time:2023-09-19T07:38:58.8616800Z 
  • This storage account's 'Firewalls and virtual networks' settings may be blocking access to storage services. Try adding your client IP address ('XX.XX.XX.XX') to the firewall exceptions, or by allowing access from 'all networks' instead of 'selected networks'.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Cause

Azure Cloud Storage goes in an offline state when the Azure firewall is blocking access from client IP.

Resolution

Step to fix the issue :-
1). Login to MS Azure portal
2). Go to Storage Account
3). Networking settings
4). Under Firewall options, "Add IP ranges to allow access from the internet or your on-premises networks."
