Azure – aad authentication for azure file share

active-directoryazure

I have on-premise AD and it syncs with Azure AD. I have setup ADDS on the Azure for AAD authentication for Azure files. I have setup the storage account and enabled the Azure Active Directory Authentication for Azure files, given appropriate permission to the user under IAM but when I try to access the File share from my on-premise computer which is joined to on-premise DC, I am unable to access the share with my AD account. I can access the share using storage name and the key.

How can I finish setting up AAD Auth?

This won't work. The Azure Files AAD preview only supports accessing the share from machines that are joined to the Azure AD DS domain, not your on premesis domain that is synced to AAD:

Integration with AAD enables SMB access to Azure file shares using AAD credentials from AAD DS domain joined Windows VMs.
