Explanation:

A Shared Access Signature (SAS) defines how, when, and from where a storage resource can be accessed.
The exhibit shows the following important configuration details for SAS1:
Validity period: January 1, 2025 through January 1, 2028 # both access attempts occur within the valid timeframe.
Allowed IP addresses: Not specified # access is allowed from any IP address.
Allowed protocols: HTTPS only
Signing key: key1
Scenario 1 - Azure Storage Explorer
Azure Storage Explorer accesses Azure Storage using the HTTPS REST API. Because:
The access is within the SAS validity period,
No IP restriction is configured,
HTTPS is allowed,
the connection succeeds. However, the SAS configuration shown does not include write or list permissions, meaning access is limited to read-only operations.
# Result: Will have read-only access
Scenario 2 - net use to connect to Azure file share
The net use command connects to Azure Files using SMB (port 445). SMB traffic does not use HTTPS.
Because the SAS explicitly restricts access to HTTPS only, SMB-based access is blocked, regardless of IP address or validity period.
Microsoft Azure documentation clearly states:
"When HTTPS only is selected, requests that use HTTP or SMB are denied."
# Result: Will have no access
Final Answer Summary
Scenario
Result
Storage Explorer over HTTPS
Will have read-only access
SMB (net use) connection
Will have no access
# Final Verified Answer:
First scenario: Will have read-only access
Second scenario: Will have no access
