Create NAS like architecture with UNC access in Azure?

$

How do I create a simple NAS model with UNC access in Azure?  In other words, say I have two VM's that each wish to access a shared storage area for read/write via VM.  Very common scenario if you have to pass a file name to a 3rd party DLL for example.  I can't rewrite the 3rd party DLL to use the new Azure storage API.

Today, outside of Azure, I have several servers that each use UNC paths to access the same network directory.  Mounting an Azure Drive only support a single writer so those won't work.  I could create another VM in theory and share a folder from that, but then I don't get the full space of the storage as its limitted by the VM "size".

Am I supposed to use a 3rd VM, mount a VHD image, and then share that from the third VM?

Any ideas greatly appreciated!
