CloudFileDirectory 404 on Creating of directory

Sub Main()
        Dim storageAccount As CloudStorageAccount = CloudStorageAccount.Parse(CloudConfigurationManager.GetSetting("StorageConnectionString"))
        Dim fileclient As CloudFileClient = storageAccount.CreateCloudFileClient()
        Dim share As CloudFileShare = fileclient.GetShareReference("vault")

        Dim rootdir As CloudFileDirectory = share.GetRootDirectoryReference()
        'Dim dir = rootdir.GetDirectoryReference("testing")
        Dim dir = rootdir.GetDirectoryReference("testing/spam1/spam2/spam3")

        dir.CreateIfNotExists()
    End Sub

I am using Azure File storage SDK and I am trying to create multiple levels of a directory in one step but it gives me a 404 error with the above code. If I just use “testing” it works but that would mean I would have to create each of the folder sections one by one?

Thanks

Even if the underlying API / back end can’t do this atomically, that’s no reason the SDK shouldn’t be able to. How about listening to your users?

Feels quite hacky and impractical to have to create folder structures this way.
