"The configuration Blob contains a plain text access token. Isn't that a security threat?"
The contents of all Azure Blobs are encrypted at-rest through 256-bit AES encryption and in-transit through TLS/HTTPS. If blob content is accessed, it will be decrypted and displayed in plain text. Only users who are permitted to read the blob will see it. End users should not be permitted to access the configuration blob and ShArc does not require users to have any permissions on any of the blobs.
"Does ShArc support file format X?"
Technically, ShArc should support all file formats that are supported my SharePoint, but for some SharePoint implements additional features, such as metadata extraction, which might interfere with the ShArc offloading mechanism. For a list of Formats that have explicitly been confirmed to be working, please refer to File Types
