Explanation

In Azure Data Lake Storage Gen2, the hierarchy consists of an Azure Storage account at the top level (root), followed by Containers (also called filesystems in ADLS Gen2) at the second level, which then hold directories and files. ADLS Gen2 is built on top of Azure Blob Storage and uses this two-tier structural model before reaching the directory/file level. The 'File share' option belongs to Azure Files, a completely separate Azure Storage service used for SMB/NFS file sharing, and has no role in the ADLS Gen2 hierarchy.
