  Well you could use a storsimple device which would act as a network drive and tier/backup the data to Azure

  Hi Thuan,

  As "zxed" suggested, you may use "Gladinet" app to connect the Azure Storage blob as a network drive to your local computer.

  You may refer the following MSDN Blog also:

  Thank you for your suggestion. What I want is just a drive out side of my Azure virtual machine but I can back up my databases to that drive. Does Gladinet provides that ability? My understanding from the article is that Gladinet allows us to map Azure storage to my computer.
