August 2023 (Version 1.31.0, build 20230810.9)

Welcome to Storage Explorer version 1.31.0. A detailed list of all issues closed for this release can be found here.

macOS ARM64 (Apple Silicon) GA

The macOS ARM64 (Apple Silicon) version of Storage Explorer for macOS is now generally available. This new flavor of Storage Explorer is natively compiled for ARM64 and offers improved performance and battery life. It also includes a macOS ARM64 version of AzCopy which has also recently reached general availability. For updates following this release of Storage Explorer, users on Apple Silicon devices will be automatically upgraded to the ARM64 version. Users who wish to use it now can download it from here.

Global Sort - Table Explorer

When sorting columns in the table explorer, you can now choose to have all data be loaded prior to sorting.

While data is being loaded, progress can be monitored in the notification bar at the top of the explorer. If the load is taking too long, you can cancel it by clicking the cancel button in the notification bar. This feature can be enabled by going to Settings → Data Explorers → Global Sort.

If you have any feedback on this new feature, please share it by commenting on this issue. We would like to bring this feature to the other data explorers in the future and would appreciate any feedback you have as part of that process.

Audio File Previewing

You can now preview audio files in your blob containers or file shares in Storage Explorer.

Files must have both a supported file extension and content-type in order to be compatible with audio file preview. Supported audio file extensions and their corresponding content-type are:

  • .flac (audio/flac)
  • .mp3 (audio/mpeg)
  • .oga (audio/ogg)
  • .ogg (audio/ogg)
  • .wav (audio/x-wav)

Note: in file shares, .ogg files are limited to play in browser instead of in-app preview.

Table Import Performance Improvements

Work has been done to improve the performance of table import to be more in line with the performance found in previous versions of Storage Explorer. For best performance, data with existing partition keys should be sorted by partition key before importing.

If you still have a scenario which results in slow import performance, please consider opening an issue here.

System Proxy GA & Auto Managed Proxy Settings

The system proxy option for proxy configuration source is now GA. Additionally, in certain situations, Storage Explorer may now automatically change in-app proxy settings to facilitate successful networking. If you wish to disable this behavior, you can do so by going to and disabling Settings → Proxy → Auto Manage Proxy Settings.

Electron 25

Storage Explorer is now using Electron 25. This version of Electron brings various improvements and bug fixes.
