Synology to Azure Files

Question

Hi

I am trying to use Synology Cloud synch to copy files to Azure file storage with the intention of mapping drives to users computers via Intune, I managed to get these files to Azure Blob container but not Azure File storage, I had to move the files using Azure File Explorer, does anyone know a way I can get a synch going directly to Azure files rather than Blob container?

Thanks

Hello Eric Henderson,

Greetings! Welcome to Microsoft Q&A Platform.

To move your files from an Azure Blob container to Azure File Shares, you can use the AzCopy tool, which is a command-line utility designed for copying and synchronizing files between storage accounts. Here’s a step-by-step guide to help you:

1. Install AzCopy:

• Download and install AzCopy from the https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/storage/common/storage-use-azcopy-v10

2. Generate SAS Tokens:

• Create Shared Access Signatures (SAS) for both your source Blob container and your destination File Share. This will allow AzCopy to access your storage accounts securely.

3. Use AzCopy to Sync Files:

• Open your command prompt or terminal and use the following command to sync your files:

Windows Command PromptCopy

     azcopy sync "https://<sourceaccount>.blob.core.windows.net/<container-name>?<SAS>" "https://<targetaccount>.file.core.windows.net/<fileshare-name>?<SAS>" --recursive=true

• Replace <sourceaccount>, <container-name>, <SAS>, <targetaccount>, and <fileshare-name> with your actual account names, container name, and SAS tokens.

4. Monitor the Transfer:

• AzCopy will display the progress of the transfer. Given the size of your data (1.6TB), this process might take some time.

5. Verify the Transfer:

• Once the transfer is complete, verify that all files have been successfully copied to your Azure File Share.

Alternatively, you can perform the same via Azure Storage explorer to transfer the data to file storage.
