I want to know if in Azure Websites (shared) I can create a virtual subfolder of the main app. I want to do this because I want to keep some files that are created by the users safe during deployment.

Now I use IIS and I have a virtual folder that is mapped to a different directory. SO when I put a new version. (delete all and put new files) my users files are safe.

I want to know if this is possible in Azure Websites(maybe a sugestion how) ?

How would you handle this kind of scenarios ?

Since the storage on azure can be removed unexpecdidly you should use blob storage. Heres where you get started: http://www.windowsazure.com/en-us/develop/net/how-to-guides/blob-storage/

I would also suggest using Blob Storage, but more for the reasons explained in this answer stackoverflow.com/questions/11681488/… –  SyntaxC4 Nov 21 '12 at 18:26
