Uploading Apps to AppsAnywhere Cloud
Introduction
To publish a Cloudpaging Delivery Method or a Secure Download Delivery Method in AppsAnywhere Cloud, administrators need to upload resources to AppsAnywhere using the Microsoft Azure Storage Explorer.
The storage directories available are:
Repository - Used for the Cloudpaging Delivery Method, the repository directory hosts complete virtualized packages.
SecureDownloads - files placed here can be delivered to end users via AppsAnywhere using the Secure Download Delivery Method.
Do not delete applications from the repository before they have been removed from Cloudpaging Server. See Deleting an application or desktop for more information.
If a storage directory needs to be removed from the Azure Storage Explorer, right click and press Detach.
Procedure
Visit https://azure.microsoft.com/en-gb/products/storage/storage-explorer/ to download and install Microsoft Azure Storage Explorer.

In the next screen, select the File Share option.
In the File share SAS URL field, paste the URL provided by the AppsAnywhere team.
