I cann't unzip it. Could you please help me in this link: #47556956 – Incoming

I suspect the problem will be somewhere in the way it's either being encoded or decoded rather than something specific to Azure. I don't know much about the tools you're using, so I'm not much help to you, sorry. – Zacharyzacherie

One way is to create an Azure Function with blob trigger, and the function would need to handle the logic to unzip the zip file. This solution is dependent on your code.

Second way is to create an Azure Logic App, with Blob trigger, then use connectors to unzip the zipped files. Please refer video: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCAr20GBQayL-nFPWFnUHNAA
