In Azure cloud how to get files from storage account to a VM in cloud

I have a windows 2016 Datacenter VM created in Azure cloud . Also I have some installers uploaded to the new storage Account I created ( Path is Storage Account -> DemoStorage-Blobs-> dbfile->Installers)
How can I get the Installers I uploaded into the VM I created in cloud

I tried the following video for mapping network drive It maps my demo storage account . But I don't see any file in it

My real problem is I get a blank screen going to portal.azure.com from Azure VM ( I am unable to download storage explorer in that VM)
If I upload files to FileService->Files in my Demostorage , I can get in in the Azure VM thru shared path. But I don't get anything in the blob
In the first place, Is there any need for keeping the installers in Blob? ( Some zipped installers are around 1GB )
