Snowflake is designed to be multi-cloud compatible, which means: You can create an external stage that points to a GCS bucket, regardless of whether your Snowflake account is on Azure, AWS, or GCP. This is done using a storage integration that securely connects Snowflake to the GCS bucket without exposing credentials.
In Snowflake, when the account is located on Microsoft Azure, a valid source for an external stage can be an Azure container or a folder path within an Azure container. This includes Azure Blob storage which is accessible via the azure:// endpoint. A Windows server file share on Azure, if configured properly, can be a valid source for staging data files for Snowflake. Options A, B, and C are not supported as direct sources for an external stage in Snowflake on Azure12.
Google storage is correct as AZURE file share is not supported with Snowflake staging.
