* An Azure file share is deployed inside of a storage account. That makes the storage account a scale target for performance numbers such as IOPS and throughput. Two standard (not premium) Azure file shares could theoretically saturate the maximum performance a storage account can deliver. If you plan to just attach Azure File Sync to these file shares with occasional direct access of the Azure file share in the cloud, then grouping several Azure file shares into the same storage account is fine. If you plan on lifting an app to Azure, that will then use the Azure file share natively, you might need more performance for this app than Azure File Sync needed from the file share. In these situations, it would be better to map an Azure file share to its own storage account.
