+Azure Storage
+===========
+
+A custom storage system for Django using Windows Azure Storage backend.
+
+
+Settings
+*******
+
+``DEFAULT_FILE_STORAGE``
+
+This setting sets the path to the Azure storage class::
+
+ DEFAULT_FILE_STORAGE = 'storages.backends.azure_storage.AzureStorage'
+
+
+``AZURE_ACCOUNT_NAME``
+
+This setting is the Windows Azure Storage Account name, which in many cases is also the first part of the url for instance: http://azure_account_name.blob.core.windows.net/ would mean::
+
+ AZURE_ACCOUNT_NAME = "azure_account_name"
+
+``AZURE_ACCOUNT_KEY``
+
+This is the private key that gives your Django app access to your Windows Azure Account.
+
+``AZURE_CONTAINER``
+
+This is where the files uploaded through your Django app will be uploaded.
+The container must be already created as the storage system will not attempt to create it.
