Folks,
Is there way to add\link Sharepoint Online Documents of a site to Azure FileShare storage.
For example, User1 save files in SP Documents folder calll SPDOC. User2 login to AVD VM, it mapped to Azure FileShare storage drive, can USER2 see SPDOC folder in map drive?
thanks in advance
@Arif Usman For better understanding the issue: Are referring how to sync Azure Files to a Sharepoint Document ?
You may sync SharePoint documents to Azure Fileshare storage using Power Automate. The following is a powerautomate template that copy files to Azure Blob Storage from SharePoint.
Hope this helps
Thanks sreejukg, i was hoping to use FileShare so i can easily map drive in AVD vms. Is there way to map storage blob?
I've used: ZeeDrive (https://www.thinkscape.com/Map-Network-Drives-To-Office-365-OneDrive/) - to do this. Maps a Sharepoint library as a mapped drive - in Azure Virtual Desktop.
folks, i know i can sync SP Documents to Azure Blob (not fileshare) but how can I map blob to user... I know i can map Azure FileShare...
Is there way to SP Sync to FileShare (not Blob)?
or
Is there way to Map Azure Blob to drive for users?
You could look at Power Automate or Automation task to run something like: https://rclone.org/ or AzCopy.
There is no way to mount Azure Blob for users, unless you are using Linux and NFS (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/storage/blobs/network-file-system-protocol-support, https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/storage/blobs/blobfuse2-what-is).
It does look like CloudBerry drive could mount Azure Blog storage: https://www.msp360.com/drive/

@Arif Usman Thanks for reaching out to Microsoft Q&A.
You can use Azure Data Factory to move data from Sharepoint to Azure File storage- https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/data-factory/connector-sharepoint-online-list?tabs=data-factory
You can verify that this is supported here- https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/data-factory/copy-activity-overview#supported-data-stores-and-formats
On the other hand, you can also move this data to Azure Blob STorage using Powerautomate- https://powerautomate.microsoft.com/en-US/templates/details/9f3013836eb64243a04306a0133d25eb/copy-files-from-a-sharepoint-folder-to-a-azureblob-folder/
And then move data from Blob storage to File Storage using Azcopy- azcopy copy 'https://<storage-account-name>.<blob or dfs>.core.windows.net/<container-name>/<blob-path>' 'https://<storage-account-name>.file.core.windows.net/<file-share-name>/<file-name><SAS-token>'
Hope this helps. Please let us know if you have any more questions and we will be glad to assist you further. Thank you!
