Storage Studio Lite connects with your Microsoft Azure Storage Account with the option to encrypt the connection. Storage Studio Lite gives you a true mobile feel with a small app size (compare to other similar apps that are just way too big). While other apps on the market give you the standard desktop feel (typing more than necessary), Storage Studio Lite makes queries as simple as a tap with minimal typing required (the way iOS apps are intended to be used). Storage Studio Lite doesn't record any analytics, nor does it include any ads. No personal information is collected or stored on any server, to include 3rd parties. Please feel free to contact us for any features or bugs that may arise due to different use cases and also stay tuned for new features that are in the pipeline
