Pull files from Azure Blob Storage onto your own machine

DocEvent polls your Azure Blob container on a schedule and the DocEvent Agent saves each collected file into a local folder on your own machine. Enrolled once, managed entirely from the web console, fully audited.

How Azure Blob Pull to DocEvent Agent (on-prem) routing works

Source

Azure Blob

DocEvent checks a folder in your Azure Blob container on a schedule and collects new files. Works with standard (flat) storage accounts.
DocEvent Channel
routes · retries · logs
Destination

DocEvent Agent

Files are delivered into a local folder on your own machine by the DocEvent Agent.
1

File arrives via Azure Blob Pull

Scheduled polling of a standard Azure Blob Storage container using the storage account name and access key — the flat namespace, which is what a storage account has unless the hierarchical namespace was enabled at creation. Collects from a folder (prefix) with filename pattern filtering, then each collected file is deleted or copied to an archive prefix and removed. For hierarchical-namespace accounts use the Azure Data Lake source instead.
2

Channel routes it

DocEvent's channel server matches the incoming file to your configured route, queues it for delivery, and ensures no file is ever lost — even during downstream outages.
3

Delivered to DocEvent Agent (on-prem)

The agent connects outbound over TLS — no inbound ports to open — and writes each delivered file into the folder you pick from the web console. Every file is acknowledged, so restarts and dropped connections never lose or duplicate one.

Common use cases

Real workflows that teams automate with a Azure Blob Pull DocEvent Agent (on-prem) channel.
  • Sync a blob container prefix to a local folder on a schedule
  • Deliver cloud files to a machine with no inbound connectivity
  • Automate downloads for a desktop or on-premise workflow
  • Replace manual Storage Explorer downloads with a managed schedule
The two ends don't have to be the same company — invite a customer or trading partner into the channel and they run the Azure Blob Pull or DocEvent Agent (on-prem) side under their own account, with their own credentials. Learn how shared channels work.
