We are working on an upgrade project and are considering using the Azure Blob Storage module to store media outside of the database. Since the media is no longer stored in the database and is instead stored externally in Azure, we are not sure what happens when you create an item package using the Sitecore Package Designer.

This becomes important for development, debugging and also syncing content across environments. For example, we may wish to bring this down to our local environment to debug a problem, or sync it down to the QA environment so we are testing against something more Production like.

Ideally, we also need to consider automated syncs using a tool like RAZL, SideKick or SPE Content Migrator too.

Does anyone know how the Blob Storage module works when creating packages or using any of the content sync tools?
