General-purpose v2 accounts
This is recommended for most scenarios. This storage account type provides the blob, file , queue and table service.
General-purpose v1 accounts
This also provides the blob, file , queue and table service, but is the older version of this account type. Use v1 storage accounts only if:
Your applications require the Azure classic deployment model. General-purpose v2 accounts and Blob storage accounts support only the Azure Resource Manager deployment model.
Your applications are transaction-intensive or use significant geo-replication bandwidth, but don't require large capacity. In this case, general-purpose v1 may be the most economical choice.
You use a version of the Storage Services REST API that is earlier than 2014-02-14 or a client library with a version lower than 4.x. You can't upgrade your application.
BlockBlobStorage accounts
This is specifically when you want premium performance for storing block or append blobs. BlockBlobStorage accounts don't currently support tiering to hot, cool, or archive access tiers. This type of storage account does not support page blobs, tables, or queues.
FileStorage accounts
A FileStorage account is a specialized storage account used to store and create premium file shares. This storage account kind supports files but not block blobs, append blobs, page blobs, tables, or queues.
BlobStorage accounts
This is a legacy storage account. Use General-purpose v2 account as much as possible
