Hi All,

I have create a new catalog in the unity catalog which has a cloud location for managed tables. but when accessing the location in Azure portal it denies me to see the files.

I want to see all my data files ( parquet / JSON) in the storage account for my delta tables.

Can someone help how can i explore the data files for managed table in the storage account ?

Do you have full permissions on this storage location? Also please remember the best practices for Managed tables:

You should not use tools outside of Databricks to manipulate files in managed tables directly.

You should only interact with data files in a managed table using the table name.

Data files for managed tables are stored in the managed storage location associated with the containing schema.
