title: Upload Images to Azure Storage Using Portal (not programmatically)
body: <p>I need a SQL Server database that stores images, and their name, category, etc, so the SQL table will have 5 or so columns. I'm using Azure as my SQL Server host. It appears I cannot seem to insert image data into my <code>VARBINARY(MAX)</code> column from SQL Server Management Studio which was my first plan. I cannot do this because I cannot seem to give my user permissions to use <code>BULK LOAD</code>. Azure SQL seems to make this impossible. I think I need to use Azure Storage, and then in the SQL Server database, just store a link to the image. </p>
  
  <p>To be clear, I want the images in the database already, I do not want to add them from within the application I am developing. The application I'm developing will only download the images to the device, not upload them.</p>
  
  <p>So How do I upload the images to Azure Storage using the portal, not using code? </p>
