+Private VS Public Access
+************************
+
+The ``AzureStorage`` allows a single container. The container may have either
+public access or private access. When dealing with a private container, the
+``AZURE_URL_EXPIRATION_SECS`` must be set to get temporary URLs.
+
+A common setup is having private media files and public static files,
+since public files allow for better caching (i.e: no query-string within the URL).
+
+One way to support this is having two backends, a regular ``AzureStorage``
+with the private container and expiration setting set, and a custom
+backend (i.e: a subclass of ``AzureStorage``) for the public container.
+
+Custom backend::
+
+    # file: ./custom_storage/custom_azure.py
+    class PublicAzureStorage(AzureStorage):
+        account_name = 'myaccount'
+        account_key = 'mykey'
+        azure_container = 'mypublic_container'
+        expiration_secs = None
+
+Then on settings set::
+
+    DEFAULT_FILE_STORAGE = 'storages.backends.azure_storage.AzureStorage'
+    STATICFILES_STORAGE = 'custom_storage.custom_azure.PublicAzureStorage'
 
 
 Settings
 ********
 
-To use `AzureStorage` set::
+The following settings should be set within the standard django
+configuration file, usually `settings.py`.
+
+Set the default storage (i.e: for media files) and the static storage

+    is_emulated = setting('AZURE_EMULATED_MODE', False)

 ``AZURE_ACCOUNT_NAME``
