I was trying to connect with Azure blob storage as well as azure file share with different protocols. I am able to connect with SFTP, SMB protocols from my windows machine, but not able to connect via NFS protocol. Is it possible to connect to blob/file_share via NFS protocol from windows machine?

From the docs:
NFS Azure file shares are not supported for Windows clients. Before using NFS Azure file shares for production, see the Troubleshoot NFS Azure file shares article for a list of known issues.
NFS Azure file shares are also only available on the premium tier.
Azure Blob Storage also only support Linux mounts, see the docs:
Blob storage now supports the Network File System (NFS) 3.0 protocol. This support provides Linux file system compatibility at object storage scale and prices and enables Linux clients to mount a container in Blob storage from an Azure Virtual Machine (VM) or a computer on-premises.
