Game studios deal with large files on a daily basis to store their valuable digital assets, sharing builds and reviewing crash dumps. When the COVID-19 pandemic prompted game developers to transition from an in-office workforce to a globally distributed remote team, working with large files didn’t scale well. The increased demand for remote access resulted in high latency when working with large files, as well as an increase in internet egress costs. Azure Files offered a scalable solution for the team to easily work with large files.

#### Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) Kerberos authentication for hybrid identities on Azure Files is generally available

This [feature](storage-files-identity-auth-hybrid-identities-enable.md) builds on top of [FSLogix profile container support](../../virtual-desktop/create-profile-container-azure-ad.yml) released in December 2022 and expands it to support more use cases (SMB only). Hybrid identities, which are user identities created in Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS) and synced to Azure AD, can mount and access Azure file shares without the need for network connectivity to an Active Directory domain controller. While the initial support is limited to hybrid identities, it’s a significant milestone as we simplify identity-based authentication for Azure Files customers.

To offer sync and tiering, Azure File Sync performs two types of transactions on behalf of the customer:

- Transactions from churn, including changed files (sync) and recalled files (tiering).

- Transactions from cloud change enumeration, done to discover changes made directly on the Azure file share. Historically, this was a major component of an Azure File Sync customer’s Azure Files bill.

To improve TCO, we markedly decreased the number of transactions needed to fully scan an Azure file share. Prior to this change, most customers were best off in the hot tier. Now most customers are best off in the cool tier.

Depending on your workload requirements, it’s important to correctly size the client virtual machines (VMs) to avoid being restricted by their [expected network bandwidth](../../virtual-network/virtual-machine-network-throughput.md#expected-network-throughput). You don't need multiple network interface controllers (NICs) in order to achieve the expected network throughput. While it's common to use [general purpose VMs](/azure/virtual-machines/sizes-general) with Azure Files, various VM types are available depending on your workload needs and region availability. For more information, see [Azure VM Selector](https://azure.microsoft.com/pricing/vm-selector/).

**Why are my tiered files not showing thumbnails or previews in Windows File Explorer?**
52
52
For tiered files, thumbnails and previews won't be visible at your server endpoint. This is expected behavior because the thumbnail cache feature in Windows intentionally skips reading files with the offline attribute. With Cloud Tiering enabled, reading through tiered files would cause them to be downloaded (recalled).

This behavior isn't specific to Azure File Sync. Windows File Explorer displays a "grey X" for any files that have the offline attribute set. You'll see the X icon when accessing files over SMB. For a detailed explanation of this behavior, refer to [Why don’t I get thumbnails for files that are marked offline?](https://devblogs.microsoft.com/oldnewthing/20170503-00/?p=96105)

There's no difference in how you configure your on-premises DNS servers, except that instead of pointing to the IP addresses of the DNS servers in Azure, you point to the resolver's inbound endpoint IP address. The resolver doesn't require any configuration, as it will forward queries to the Azure private DNS server by default. If a private DNS zone is linked to the VNet where the resolver is deployed, the resolver will be able to reply with records from that DNS zone.

A workaround for this issue is to create a cross-tenant private endpoint in your environment to connect to that storage account.
