36+
| **Directory path** | Required | The full path of the directory to create in the Data Lake, including the file system name (for example, 'myfilesystem/data/logs' or 'myfilesystem/archives/2024'). Use forward slashes (/) to separate the file system name from the directory path and for subdirectories. |
37+
| **Account name** | Required | The name of the Azure Storage account. This name is unique to Azure (for example, 'mystorageaccount'). |
