    @Nitin Admin
    Since you are using an older server version, RoboCopy or AzCopy would be your best options migrating to an Azure File Share. Fore more information you can refer to our migration guide and deployment planning pages. Once deployed you can easily mount a file share from your VM.

    Hope this information helps. Let us know if you have further questions or issues.
