Microsoft Azure Emulator icon in the Windows taskbar or notification area, and click
Show Storage Emulator UI.
In the storage emulator, monitor your application while it is running and start and stop it as necessary. You can see your trace messages in the compute emulator and verify the application's basic functionality.
Display the storage emulator UI, in a similar way to displaying the storage emulator UI. In the storage UI, you can monitor your
Microsoft Azure storage, and you can display the cloud drive in Windows explorer.
