 ## Applies to
+
+This Quickstart only applies to SMB Azure file shares. Standard and premium SMB file shares support locally redundant storage (LRS) and zone-redundant storage (ZRS). Standard file shares also support geo-redundant storage (GRS) and geo-zone-redundant storage (GZRS) options. For more information, see [Azure Storage redundancy](../common/storage-redundancy.md).
