Solution: To resolve this error message and get the information about shares, you will need to use storage account as context in the shares, as shown in below one liner command.

Get-AzStorageShare -Name <ShareName> -Context (Get-AzStorageAccount -Name <StorageAccountName> -ResourceGroupName <ResourceGroupName>).context
