Azure file share snapshots allow users to capture the state of their data at specific times, enabling restoration of individual files or entire shares. The tutorial covers the incremental nature of snapshots, their cost-effectiveness, and various use cases, including data protection, backup, and recovery from application errors. The video concludes with a preview of a demonstration on taking and restoring snapshots.
