The only true way to remove the moisture is with a dehumidifier. It will work best if the container is sealed so more moisture doesn't get in, and insulated to stabilize the interior temperature.
The dripping and water running down the walls will happen when the outside is colder than the inside. The difference is the moisture in the air is being condensed to the cold surfaces. Once the temperature equalizes the water evaporates and is still present as humidity in the air. Same thing will happen if a cold object is brought into a warm area, moisture will condense on the object until the temperature equalizes.
Insulation will help. That way the dripping will stop and the inside temperature will be more stable. The worst situation is when mass (stored objects) cool down over night, and take longer to warm than the air when the sun hits the container. At that point the moisture is attracted to the colder mass, resulting in condensation outside and inside (crankcase, gear boxes, fuel tank, etc) the stored contents.
So, the more moisture that can be removed from the confined area, the better. The down side is in the heat of summer the container can get extremely hot without ventilation. Heat can be just as detrimental as moisture. It cooks the solvents out of plastics and rubber, evaporates fuel and leaves behind residue. That's where insulation also helps.

Today's Featured Article - A Belt Pulley? Really Doing Something? - by Chris Pratt. Belt Pulleys! Most of us conjure up a picture of a massive thresher with a wide belt lazily arching to a tractor 35 feet away throwing a cloud of dust, straw and grain, and while nostalgic, not too practical a method of using our tractors. While this may have been the bread and butter of the belt work in the past (since this is what made the money on many farms), the smaller tasks may have been and still can be its real claim to fame. The thresher would bring in the harvest (and income) once a y
