@TalessRocha, if you were trying to connect to ADLS on your local machine, using python (for instance), you'd probably install the appropriate python packages to authenticate and then retrieve the containers & blobs/files. I don't see why we can't employ the same logic with the Free Edition.

Here's official documentation on doing that: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/storage/blobs/data-lake-storage-directory-file-acl-python?ta... 

Pair that with a youtube video/tutorial and some AI assistance.

I'd try locally using Python & then try on the Free Edition. 

A word of warning, don't connect to confidential information and bring it into the Databricks Free Edition. You should read the terms of service as to why. It goes without saying, it's not your storage/compute under the hood, right. 

Only potential blocker here, in my opinion, is being unable to pip install the appropriate libraries on the free edition. Maybe that's worth trying before getting stuck into the weeds.

Let me know how you end up resolving this, I'm interested. 

All the best,
BS
