@jayeshdshah Just to highlight: Azure AD Authentication for Azure Blobs and Queues.
Azure Active Directory (AD) based access control for Azure Storage Blobs and Queues. Enterprises can now grant specific data access permissions to users and service identities from their Azure AD tenant using Azure’s Role-based access control (RBAC). Administrators can then track individual user and service access to data using Storage Analytics logs. Storage accounts can be configured to be more secure by removing the need for most users to have access to powerful storage account access keys.

Thanks for bringing this to our attention. Your feedback has been shared with the content owner for further review.
