Hi @knight22-21 

Could you share a bit more detail so that we can help better?

  1. How are you trying to connect? (e.g., spark.conf.set, dbutils.fs.mount, Python SDK, etc.)
  2. What exact error are you seeing?

The answer depends heavily on your method:

  • dbutils.fs.mount() → not supported in Community Edition
  • Python azure-storage-blob SDK → may work, but you'd need to be able to pip install azure-storage-blob first
# This approach MIGHT work - worth trying:
pip install azure-storage-blob

from azure.storage.blob import BlobServiceClient
client = BlobServiceClient.from_connection_string("your_connection_string")​

If none of these work due to network restrictions, the reliable fallback is uploading your file directly to a Unity Catalog Volume via the Databricks UI and reading from there.

What method are you currently using?
