Download blob properties metadata in ADLS Gen2

Problem

I'm unable to download blob metadata in ADLS Gen2

Desired Solution

I'd like to have an "export" button that exports properties metadata to json file

Alternatives and Workarounds

there is no similar capability in azure portal too

@atoliks To help us with this feature, tell us more about your scenario. What do you want to use exported blob properties for?

[atoliks]

Hi @craxal, I use the json files for locally processing them with the blob for testing.
I download the blob and now I need to copy the metadata manually to a json file and then consume them together in a script.

@atoliks Would a Copy to Clipboard button be sufficient? Do you need the properties or just the metadata?

[atoliks]

@craxal yes, copy the whole metadata only as json to clipboard will be great

[craxal]

@atoliks Sorry, when you say "whole metadata", do you mean properties (such as LeaseState and ContentType) and metadata (such as media_type and scan_time), or just the metadata?

[atoliks]

@craxal ,I mean only the attributes of metadata without the properties of the scan (only the lower part in my screenshot).

@atoliks We're still looking into this.

Storage Explorer uses the Azure SDK for JS to manage blob metada and AzCopy to manage blob transfers. As an alternative, if you're writing a script that processes blob data and metadata, have you considered using these tools (or similar) directly to retrieve and process the data?
