How to add storage account in MK.IO

In this article, we will describe the steps to follow when you need to add the storage account, hosting all your AMS assets, in MK.IO.
2 main steps will happen:

1. Get your Storage Account access information:
     Follow the Step1 instructions of this documentation https://docs.mk.io/docs/connecting-my-current-storage-accounts to generate the sas token.
     At the end of this step you will have your:
                  a. Storage Account URL: https://<storage-name>.blob.core.windows.net
                  b. SAS token: ?sv=& [...] &sig=signature>


2. Add Storage Account in MK.IO:
Once logged in your MK.IO account, navigate on the left panel to Storage Accounts.
            
            
Once here, click on the top right button: Add Storage Account
            
A new panel slides from the right and here is the info that needs to be provided:
            
    a. Name: make sure the name of this storage account is the same name of your storage account in Azure, from the Storage Account URL from point 1 above (i.e. if your Storage Account URL is https://companyname.blob.core.windows.net, use companyname on this field.)
    b. Description: this field is optional, you can add some short description that will be visible later in Storage Accounts section of MK.IO.
    c. URL: URL of the Storage Account without any trailing slash at the end, i.e. : https://companyname.blob.core.windows.net
    c. SAS token: use the SAS token collected on first step of this article following this format: ?sv=& [...] &sig=signature>

Finally click on Submit (at the bottom) and your storage account will be added to your MK.IO account.
