Multer Azure Storage is a storage engine for multer (Express middleware) that saves uploaded files to Azure Blob Storage. Version 0.2.0 is the latest stable release. It supports configuration via connection string or account name/access key, customizable file naming, and returns blob properties (size, etag, metadata, URL) for each upload. This package is specific to the older Azure Storage SDK (v1) and the deprecated azure-storage npm package; it is not compatible with @azure/storage-blob v12. The repository appears unmaintained with no tests and no updates since 2017.

MulterAzureStorage
✓ const MulterAzureStorage = require('multer-azure-storage');
✗ import MulterAzureStorage from 'multer-azure-storage';
This package uses CommonJS and cannot be imported with ESM import syntax. It provides a single default export.
multer
✓ const multer = require('multer');
✗ const multer = require('multer')().
Multer is a required peer dependency and is not included automatically.
azure-storage blobService
✓ const azure = require('azure-storage'); const blobService = azure.createBlobService(...);
✗ const { BlobServiceClient } = require('@azure/storage-blob');
This package uses the old azure-storage package (deprecated), not the modern @azure/storage-blob.

Shows how to set up an Express server using multer and multer-azure-storage to handle file uploads to Azure Blob Storage.

const express = require('express'); const multer = require('multer'); const MulterAzureStorage = require('multer-azure-storage'); const app = express(); const upload = multer({ storage: new MulterAzureStorage({ azureStorageConnectionString: process.env.AZURE_STORAGE_CONNECTION_STRING ?? '', containerName: 'uploads', containerSecurity: 'blob', fileName: function (file) { return file.originalname; } }) }); app.post('/upload', upload.single('file'), (req, res) => { res.json({ message: 'File uploaded successfully', file: req.file }); }); app.listen(3000, () => console.log('Server started on port 3000'));
Debug
Known issues
deprecatedDependency 'azure-storage' is deprecated. Use @azure/storage-blob instead.
fix
Migrate to the @azure/storage-blob package and use a different multer storage engine that supports it.
affects: >=0.0.0
breakingPackage uses CommonJS; attempting ESM import will fail.
fix
Use require() instead of import.
affects: 0.0.0 - 0.2.0
gotchaThe 'azureStorageConnectionString' or 'azureStorageAccount'/'azureStorageAccessKey' combination is required. Missing either will cause runtime errors.
fix
Provide a valid connection string or account credentials.
affects: >=0.0.0
gotchaContainer must be created before uploading. multer-azure-storage does not create the container automatically.
fix
Manually create the Azure Storage container before using the engine.
affects: >=0.0.0
deprecatedThe 'containerSecurity' option defaults to 'blob' and accepts 'container' or 'blob'. This parameter is a legacy Azure Storage concept.
fix
Use 'blob' for public read access to blobs, or set to 'container' for full public access.
affects: >=0.0.0

azure-storage is a required peer dependency that must be installed separately.
fix
Run 'npm install azure-storage' to install the dependency.

fix
Use 'const MulterAzureStorage = require('multer-azure-storage');' instead of 'import MulterAzureStorage from ...'
The storage account connection string is not specified
No connection string or account details provided in the options.
fix
Provide 'azureStorageConnectionString' or both 'azureStorageAccount' and 'azureStorageAccessKey'.
