So I got an error when i try to mount the drive an got this error.

The connection checked out, I can reach the drive from azure storage explorer. But I just simply cannot mount the drive.

When I try to authenticate, things look working wrong password getting incorrect password error, correct password however give this message.

the error message read

There was a problem connecting to the server
"xxxxxxxx.privatelink.file.core.windows.net"
Check the server name or IP address, and then try again. If you continue to have problems, contact your system administrator.

There was a problems connecting to the server.

The way to resolve it of case, very easy.

Just try to mount the actual share, not the server share.

So instead of mounting,

smb://xxxxxxxx.privatelink.file.core.windows.net/

you need to mount

smb://xxxxxxxx.privatelink.file.core.windows.net/yoursharename 

that, it
