Azure Files has supported large file shares for several years, which not only provides file share capacity up to 100 TiB but also improves IOPS and throughput. Large file shares are widely adopted by customers using locally redundant storage (LRS) and zone-redundant storage (ZRS), but they haven't been available for geo-redundant storage (GRS) and geo-zone redundant storage (GZRS) until now.

Azure Files has offered 100 TiB standard SMB shares (with better performance) for years with locally redundant storage (LRS) and zone-redundant storage (ZRS). However, geo-redundant file shares had a 5TiB capacity limit and were often throttled due to IO operations per second (IOPS) and throughput limits. Now, geo-redundant standard SMB file shares support up to 100TiB capacity with significantly improved IOPS and throughput limits.
