in alot of online tutorials I can see that one can navigate through resources in azure as if it were a directory.

When I use Cloud Shell this feature is not available to me.

I only have following directory structure.

Directory: /home/MY NAME  


Mode                 LastWriteTime         Length Name
----                 -------------         ------ ----
l----           6/19/2020  6:08 AM                clouddrive -> /usr/csuser/clouddrive

Does anybody know what I am missing?

regards Stefan

It's expected behavior.

Azure Cloud Shell runs on a temporary host and is assigned one machine per user account. Cloud Shell persists $HOME using a 5-GB image held in your file share. By default, you have full permission to access the /home/user directory. Additionally, your $HOME directory is persisted as an .img in your Azure File share. Files outside of $HOME and machine state are not persisted across sessions.

Read Overview of Azure Cloud Shell for more details.
