Alright, that works. Didn't consider that option 🙂 Maybe add that example to the documentation for the next person, that doesn't see the forest for the trees?

So far I managed to use the general account settings, which are stored within the hop-config.json. However, I didn't figure out yet how to make use of the Azure Authentication which is stored under metadata. If I use azure://[containername] or [metadataname] in the text file input, hop will still revert to the global data or returns an error. The only hint I got from the documentation is "this will be used in file paths name://". But no clue, how or where this would be used in particular. Obviously using name://[metadata name] in the path field of a text input doesn't work. Thanks for your assistance.
