Sync Azure Files to Sharepoint

Question

Is there a way to sync from Azure Files to a Sharepoint Document Library?

Answer 1

@WJOHNSON-AD Adding more information to @JulieWang-MSFT response. No, Azure File Sync is for syncing files between an on-premises Windows Server or Cloud VM and an Azure file share, primarily for the purpose of caching the Azure file share on-premises for fast access.

There is already an thread discussion in Q&A Forum, please refer to the suggestion which can give some idea on your scenario: Best way to migrate my file server to azure then to SharePoint online

@WJOHNSON-AD ,

We suggest you use Azure Logic Apps to create a workflow to keep Azure Blob Storage and a SharePoint Document Library in sync.

We have a process that uses Azure Sync to update from on premise file server to Azure Files. We then want to sync from Azure Files to the Sharepoint library. This is a constant sync, not a migration.
