Unable to connect - Azure Blob Storage

[smfaizhaider]

When I try to connect to Azure Blob Storage thru PowerBI Desktop, after sometime I get following message, 

---

We encountered an error while trying to connect.

Details: "AzureBlobs failed to get the response: 'The underlying connection was closed: An unexpected error occurred on a send.'."

---

What can be reason of above issue?

FYI- I'm able to connect to same Azure Blob Storage thru 'Azure Storage Explorer'.

@smfaizhaider could you tell me what was the issue? I have a similar problem - I can connect with my blob from a PROD Server (Azure VM) using "Azure Storage Explorer" and I can successfully test the connection in SSIS using "Azure Storage Connection Manager", but I can not pull data from BLOB using  "Azure Blob Download Task" - I have an error like "The underlying connection was closed: An unexpected error occurred on a send".
Can Anyone help?
