Troubleshooting Azure Storage Explorer
If you're experiencing issues with Azure Storage Explorer, you're not alone. One common problem is the "Unable to retrieve child resources" error, which can be caused by a variety of factors.
To fix this, try reverting to an older build of Azure Storage Explorer, such as version 1.14.0, which can be downloaded from the Microsoft website or GitHub.
If you're using a newer build, you might need to adjust your proxy settings to get it working properly. Make sure your proxy settings are correct if you're connected to Azure through a proxy.
The "Unable to retrieve child resources" error can also be caused by a self-signed certificate. To fix this, you'll need to import the TLS/SSL certificate for your device into Azure Storage Explorer.
Here's a quick rundown of the steps to import the certificate:
- Download the certificate from the Azure portal
- From the Edit menu, select SSL Certificates and then select Import Certificates
Alternatively, if you're experiencing issues with Data Box Blob storage, you might need to check that the endpoint name is added to the hosts file.

- On Linux, check the hosts file at /etc/hosts
