If you work with Azure Storage feature, you already know (and probably also use) Azure Storage Explorer and/or AzCopy.
Well, good news, AzCopy is now integrated (in preview) with Azure Storage Explorer (starting with version 1.7.0 available for download here https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=708343&clcid=0x409 for Windows) – as there is no version displayed anywhere you can check the version of the download files in the Details\Product version
This integration will provide better performance/higher throughput for transferring file to/from Azure Storage.
The below table (courtesy Microsoft) provides an idea of the performance improvements
