    Hello Mizver Mohamed,

    Welcome to the Microsoft Q&A and thank you for posting your questions here.

    Problem

    I understand that you would like to migrate your files from OneDrive to Azure storage.

    Solution

    Irrespective of your file size, migrating files from OneDrive to Azure storage can be done using several methods.

    1. Azure Data Factory (ADF). Thought ADF doesn't have a direct connector to transfer files from OneDrive to Azure Blob Storage or Azure SQL Table/Data Warehouse. But you can use Microsoft Flow (now known as Power Automate), which has a template for this purpose.
    2. AzCopy is a command-line tool that can copy data between different storage sources, including SharePoint Online and Azure Files. You can use it to move files from OneDrive to Azure Blob Storage.
    3. Also, Robocopy. If you prefer a command-line approach, you can use Robocopy to migrate files to Azure File Shares. Microsoft provides guidance on using Robocopy for this purpose.
    4. Finally, consider using GUI tools like Cloudfuze, GS Richcopy 360, or Sharegate. These tools allow you to directly copy modified folders and files from OneDrive to Azure Blob Storage in the same path.
