Answer 1

Welcome to Microsoft Q&A platform and thanks for posting your question here.

The Default maximum storage account capacity 5 PiB.

Refer https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/storage/common/scalability-targets-standard-account#scale-targets-for-standard-storage-accounts

If you have a large amount of data to upload, you might consider using the azcopy.exe utility. This allows you to use a Shared Access Signature (SAS) URI to upload the files. Alternatively, you can use the Azure Import/Export Service, which involves physically sending your files on hard drives to Microsoft to be uploaded into Blob Storage.

Refer https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/import-export/storage-import-export-service

Answer 2

Hello jihad majed,

Thank you for posting your query here!

This article provides an overview of some of the common Azure data transfer solutions. The article also links out to recommended options depending on the network bandwidth in your environment and the size of the data you intend to transfer: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/storage/common/storage-choose-data-transfer-solution

Selecting a data transfer solution

Answer the following questions to help select a data transfer solution:

• Is your available network bandwidth limited or non-existent, and you want to transfer large datasets? If yes, see: Scenario 1: Transfer large datasets with no or low network bandwidth.
• Do you want to transfer large datasets over network and you have a moderate to high network bandwidth? If yes, see: Scenario 2: Transfer large datasets with moderate to high network bandwidth.
• Do you want to occasionally transfer just a few files over the network? If yes, see Scenario 3: Transfer small datasets with limited to moderate network bandwidth.
• Are you looking for point-in-time data transfer at regular intervals? If yes, use the scripted/programmatic options outlined in Scenario 4: Periodic data transfers.
• Are you looking for on-going, continuous data transfer? If yes, use the options in Scenario 4: Periodic data transfers.

Additional information: Azure Storage migration overview

Also, ShareGate and Gs Richcopy are a kind of data migration tools that can help migrate on-prem data to Azure, however, given the size of the data, you may consider using Azcopy tool to upload files from on-premises or cloud (Use this command-line tool to easily copy data to and blobs from Azure Blobs, Blob Files, and Table storage Storage with optimal performance. ) AzCopy supports concurrency and parallelism, and the ability to resume copy operations when interrupted. It provides high-performance for uploading, downloading larger files.

Or you may refer Azure Data Box instead. You can use physical shippable devices when you want to do offline one-time bulk data transfer. Microsoft sends you a disk, or a secure specialized device. Alternatively, you can purchase and ship your own disks. You copy data to the device and then ship it to Azure where the data is uploaded. The available options for this case are Data Box Disk, Data Box, Data Box Heavy, and Import/Export (use your own disks).
