Adding media using the blob storage
You can upload multiple files to the BLOB storage using a tool such as Microsoft Azure Storage Explorer. To configure this tool, you must use the associated URL and key provided by Orckestra.
Important: when uploading an image, your media file must use the following naming convention (ProductID)_0.jpg as a file name. For example, if the product ID is 001020-4088600191065, the product file name must be 001020-4088600191065_0.jpg. If the product has more than 1 image, the sequence number (0) in the file name will increment. In the above example, the second image file name would be 001020-4088600191065_1.jpg.
