What is the difference between static and dynamic Azure files?

3/9/2020

The official docs don't really explain these properly an I can barely find any other article that explains the difference. I would like to know when to use static or dynamic azure files.

In my case I have a Laravel app which has a feature that allows you to upload files. The app is deployed using azure Kubernetes service, therefore I have to create a Persistent Volume Claim to persist the uploaded files in the storage folder.

static - would be a precreated file share
dynamic - would be created and managed by kubernetes for you

thats the difference between dynamic and static
