Problem has been fixed!!

It appeared that we had a firewall between the nodes and azure files. Once created permit rules everything is fine and the cloudstore plugin is up and running.

Could you please share what firewall settings / what ports you had to open up?

In my case it wasn’t a firewall, but the storage account’s “Secure Transfer Enabled” setting which forces connections to be through https. Apparently the plugin (cloudstor:18.06.1-ce-azure1 in my case) connects through http, and if “Secure Transfer Enabled” is on in the storage account, you get this error about `cloudstor.sock`.
