I could not find any documentation in Microsoft knowledge base asking to not do this.

The "Secure transfer required" option enhances the security of your storage account by only allowing requests to the account from secure connections. For example, when you're calling REST APIs to access your storage account, you must connect by using HTTPS. "Secure transfer required" rejects requests that use HTTP.

Why i this an issue in first place. Isnt enabling this option make my file share more secure.

Here a similar case about you, please refer to it.

Can I mount my file share in any way with this option enabled?

Centos 7.4 support the encryption functionality of SMB 3.0, we should turn off secure transfer required, and mount it direct.

When you use the Azure Files service, any connection without encryption fails when "Secure transfer required" is enabled. This includes scenarios that use SMB 2.1, SMB 3.0 without encryption, and some versions of the Linux SMB client.

More information about secure transfer required, please refer to this article.
