I am trying to deploy my static website to blob storage in azure with azure DevOps, but I am getting this error. In my pipeline, I am using grunt build to build, and archive it to zip, then publishing to the azure pipeline, then in the release, I am extracting files, and trying to upload these files with azure CLI task.
I am using following command
az storage blob upload-batch --account-name something --account-key something --destination ‘$web’ --source ./
My Container name is $web

I solved this problem by removing apostrophes around container name:
az storage blob upload-batch --account-name something --account-key something --destination $web --source ./
Permitted characters are a-z 0-9 and single infix hyphens
[a-z0-9\-]
This will probably not solve your problem, but it will solve a related problem for other people:
If the aim is to simply download a file from Azure File Storage using a link, after generating a SAS token, as shown here: Azure File Storage URL in browser showing InvalidHeaderValue
If you remove the slash after the name of the file in the generated link, the file will download!
