I have written an Azure function to create leads in the Zoho CRM. I gotten great guidance from members here and I have one last hurdle to get over. Zoho API writes to a location it calls the Resource Path. This has to be a local path. For example, running the function in VS, I can use a path to My Documents but not a system path to the temp folder or any other. I've tried several system paths which all throw an error. The actual error is a generic API error but Zoho support has told me its an access issue?

            string path = context.FunctionAppDirectory; 
            string path = System.IO.Path.GetTempPath(); 

The last conversation I had with support on this, they explained it as

However, upon having further discussions based on your questions with my development team, I was told that it is mandatory for the resource path to be a local path (Documents path in our case) an that it is not possible to retrieve a file stored on cloud and use it with the local SDK.

So I THINK my question is, can I create something that looks like a local path to use in my Azure Function. I was reading about mounting a Azure file share as a drive letter (https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/storage/files/storage-how-to-use-files-windows-olansi) but it seems to only work with Azure Windows servers rather than Azure Functions.

Any suggestions are appreciated.
