The default access tier setting for a general-purpose v2 storage account determines in which online tier a new blob is created by default. You can set the default access tier for a general-purpose v2 storage account at the time that you create the account or by updating an existing account's configuration.

When you change the default access tier setting for an existing general-purpose v2 storage account, the change applies to all blobs in the account for which an access tier has not been explicitly set. Changing the default access tier may have a billing impact. For details, see [Default account access tier setting](access-tiers-overview.md#default-account-access-tier-setting).

You can change the tier of an existing blob in one of two ways:
209
+
210
+
- By calling the [Set Blob Tier](/rest/api/storageservices/set-blob-tier) operation, either directly or via a [lifecycle management](#blob-lifecycle-management) policy, to change the blob's tier.
211
+
- By calling the [Copy Blob](/rest/api/storageservices/copy-blob) operation to copy a blob from one tier to another. In this case, the source blob remains in the original tier, and a new blob is created in the target tier.
212
+
213

For more information about each of these options, see [Setting or changing a blob's tier](access-tiers-overview.md#setting-or-changing-a-blobs-tier).

Changing the default account access tier setting applies to all blobs in the account for which an access tier has not been explicitly set. If you toggle the default account access tier setting from hot to cool in a general-purpose v2 account, then you are charged for write operations (per 10,000) for all blobs for which the access tier is inferred. You are charged for both read operations (per 10,000) and data retrieval (per GB) if you toggle from cool to hot in a general-purpose v2 account.

When you create a legacy Blob Storage account, you must specify the default access tier setting as hot or cool at create time. There's no charge for changing the default account access tier setting from hot to cool in a legacy Blob Storage account. You are charged for both read operations (per 10,000) and data retrieval (per GB) if you toggle from cool to hot in a Blob Storage account.
