Access Azure Blob as File system in browser
Is it possible to access Azure Blob in a CDN as a file system in the browser? If I try to access a file directly from the endpoint I just get a bunch of garbled text. I am using MS Storage Explorer to upload files but I have a need to go to another computer that does not have MS Storage Explorer and access the files. Example for what I would like to see in the browser.

1) Is it possible to access Azure Blob in a CDN as a file system in the browser?
Yes.
This depends on your Webserver MIME setting for the MIME type of the object/asset/file you're accessing.
2) If I try to access a file directly from the endpoint I just get a bunch of garbled text.
This likely means the MIME type if incorrect for file type.
Note: To debug this further requires a clickable link to access your file.
3) I am using MS Storage Explorer to upload files but I have a need to go to another computer that does not have MS Storage Explorer and access the files.
You're mixing up to many different systems here.
Debugging is best done incrementally.
