@S S​ you can access data in ADLS GEn2 using multiple ways, please check below article.

easy way is using storage account access key method

@karthik p i know with the help of pyspark(python) and spark (Scala) you can access.

But my question is that how you can access in shell because shell dose not support Spark.

For ex:- echo "abfss://container@storageAccount.dfs.core.windows.net/external-location/path/to/data"

This will not work.

​If you're not getting it then try to run this command (echo ..) in your Databricks notebook and see what error you're getting.
