title: Download a list of specific files from Azure Blob
body: <p>I've got an issue with the files download from Azure Blob container. This is not that trivial as it may seem. I saw many examples of how you can download one file, but there's a problem if you need to download a bulk of them.</p>
  <p>Issue definition:</p>
  <ul>
  <li>I have an Azure Blob container that has ~30k files in it</li>
  <li>At the same time, I've got a list of exact file names locally (around 300 files) that I want to download from that Azure Blob container (i.e., I need to download a whole bunch of files selectively, by their names)</li>
  </ul>
  <p>I know that all these files exist in the given blob. So, I need a way to iterate over the list of the files and download them from the blob.</p>
  <p>What I tried:</p>
  <ul>
  <li>I tried 'azcopy copy' command. It works alright if you need to copy one or several files from the blob to your local disk, but there's no way you can pass a huge list of files as a parameter to download those</li>
  <li>Tried to search for PowerShell examples that can do the same, but no luck</li>
  </ul>
  <p>Please advice.</p>
