Increasing the size of a Azure file share

Question

_{Thursday, September 6, 2018 5:23 PM}

How can I increase the size of an already excising Azure Fileshare?

I can't find any option within the ARM to do this and all the articles on the web are related to increasing the size Virtual Machine disks. If it is not possible to do with ARM then there should be an PowerShell way. But where and how.

Hope to hear from y'all soon.

You can also Increase a fileshare quota using the following PS commands and steps:

**1- Set up context in PowerShell: 
**

 $Context = New-AzureStorageContext -StorageAccountName YOURSTORAGEACCOUNT

2- Run the following command:

 Set-AzureStorageShareQuota -ShareName "NAMEOFSHARE" -Context $Context -Quota 2024

Size is in GB, I tested this and it should work.

It will allow you to increase the file share size upto 5 TB and then you have to create another file share within the same storage account. That's the limit of standard storage account, however, premium storage account will let you increase up to 100 TB. 
Waiting to have bigger than 5TB for standard storage account.
