Hi,

We're using Azure.

External locations are created using a managed identity.

It's not a security issue as demonstrated below:

Same folder, different syntax to get the list of files. The first one works, the second one throws an error.

LIST 'abfss://landingzone@***.dfs.core.windows.net/DEV' --> works
 
%py
dbutils.fs.ls('abfss://landingzone@***.dfs.core.windows.net/DEV') --> throws error
