+Azure file shares are accessible from anywhere via the storage account's public endpoint. This means that authenticated requests, such as requests authorized by a user's logon identity, can originate securely from inside or outside of Azure. In many customer environments, an initial mount of the Azure file share on your on-premises workstation will fail, even though mounts from Azure VMs succeed. The reason for this is that many organizations and internet service providers (ISPs) block the port that SMB uses to communicate, port 445. To see the summary of ISPs that allow or disallow access from port 445, go to [TechNet](https://social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/contents/articles/32346.azure-summary-of-isps-that-allow-disallow-access-from-port-445.aspx).
