***Familiar programmability**. Applications running in Azure can access data in the share via file [system I/O APIs](/dotnet/api/system.io.file). Developers can therefore leverage their existing code and skills to migrate existing applications. In addition to System IO APIs, you can use [Azure Storage Client Libraries](/previous-versions/azure/dn261237(v=azure.100)) or the [Azure Files REST API](/rest/api/storageservices/file-service-rest-api).
