How to use azure file storage with Azure Function?

I have created two storage accounts, one have my azure function while another is a file storage account. What I want is to create a file from azure function and store it in my azure file storage. I went through official documentation of file storage as well as of Azure function, but I am not finding any connecting link between the two.

Is it possible to create file from azure function and store it in file storage account, if yes, please assist accordingly.

There is a preview of Azure Functions External File bindings to upload file to external storage, but it doesn't work with Azure File Storage. There is a github issue to create a new type of binding for Files.

Meanwhile, you can upload the file just by using Azure Storage SDK directly. Something like

#r "Microsoft.WindowsAzure.Storage"
using Microsoft.WindowsAzure.Storage;
using Microsoft.WindowsAzure.Storage.File;

public static void Run(string input)
{
    var storageAccount = CloudStorageAccount.Parse("...");
    var fileClient = storageAccount.CreateCloudFileClient();
    var share = fileClient.GetShareReference("...");
    var rootDir = share.GetRootDirectoryReference();  
    var sampleDir = rootDir.GetDirectoryReference("MyFolder");
    var fileToCreate = sampleDir.GetFileReference("output.txt");
    fileToCreate.UploadText("Hello " + input);
}
