Good Afternoon
I am currently researching into migrating the EPiServer 11.10.1 media blobs from a Windows DFS Share to an Azure Storage Account.
The configuration tried is as follows:
web.config (Note: only relevant sections are shown)
<dependentAssembly>
<assemblyIdentity name="EPiServer.Azure" publicKeyToken="8fe83dea738b45b7" culture="neutral" />
<bindingRedirect oldVersion="0.0.0.0-9.4.4.0" newVersion="9.4.4.0" />
</dependentAssembly>
<episerver.framework updateDatabaseSchema="false">
<clientResources debug="false" />
<appData basePath="" />
<scanAssembly forceBinFolderScan="true" />
<blob defaultProvider="azureblobs">
<providers>
<add name="azureblobs" type="EPiServer.Azure.Blobs.AzureBlobProvider,EPiServer.Azure" connectionStringName="EPiServerAzureBlobs" container="mycontainer"/>
</providers>
</blob>
connectionStrings.config (Note: only relevant sections are shown)
<connectionStrings>
<clear />
<add name="EPiServerAzureBlobs" connectionString="DefaultEndpointsProtocol=https;AccountName=storage00001;AccountKey=NuJBkcpuCbPKH+lcw65OwELkJ1nptJ7CY2Hn4MqNwqwL4WY4C3caSSSJYgH91J6MH9qZPPOOSbAzFZrNk8eIHt6PA==" />
</connectionStrings>
When starting the site, the following error is shown in the logs:

StatusMessage:The specified blob does not exist.
I have reviewed this page (https://world.episerver.com/documentation/upgrading/episerver-commerce/8/upgrading-and-deploying-commerce-to-azure) on this site but I am unable to see an error which would be causing the media blob (image) not to be displayed.
The following has been tried already but to no avail:
Permissions: Azure Storage Account - Blobs - Contain (anonymous read access for containers and blobs)
Permissions: The media blob (images) are accessible in a browser independent of the EpiServer platform
Microsoft Support has confirmed there are no known issues affecting the Storage Account
If this makes a difference, EpiServer itself is running on a dedicated VM (IaaS) and using Azure SQL for databases.
Does <appData basePath="" /> need to contain a value to work with an Azure Storage Account?
Any suggestions on what might be (or what I am doing) wrong are welcome.
Thank you.
