Unable to access Azure container through browser

Question

This is the error showing in browser when I hit the url of container:

This XML file does not appear to have any style information associated with it. The document tree is shown below.

ResourceNotFound

The specified resource does not exist. RequestId:3fc3c275-301e-000f-3193-f99692000000 Time:2022-11-16T08:13:12.8837824Z

But I am able to access the blob when I hit the URL of blob.

To resolve this issue, try to give access in container url with SAS token like below:

And generate a SAS token and include it in below Url:

https://<storage-account-name>.blob.core.windows.net/<containername>?restype=container&comp=list&<sas-token>

When I ran the same, I got the result successfully like below:

Thank you Imran, I can now successfully access it on browser. – Mayank Sharma Nov 16 '22 at 13:39
But I want to access container through browser, but I can only see XML file. I cannot access images and videos. – Mayank Sharma Nov 16 '22 at 13:41
Okay, so it means I cannot access contents of container through its URI, so I need to access each blob file with different URL ? – Mayank Sharma Nov 16 '22 at 13:45

Right click to your container folder and then select change access level and you are done!

I did that but I still it cannot be accessible over browser – Mayank Sharma Nov 23 '22 at 09:41
Did you select blob or container in the drop down list? I selected container (anonymous read access for containers and blobs) option. – Anthony Thanasis Nov 23 '22 at 11:51
I did the same but the the container can't be accessed, I can only access the blobs. – Mayank Sharma Nov 29 '22 at 05:26
Maybe you dont have permission to change the access level. For more info https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/storage/blobs/anonymous-read-access-configure?tabs=portal#set-the-public-access-level-for-a-container – Anthony Thanasis Nov 29 '22 at 14:16
