Hello @Voda JZ ,

Welcome to the Microsoft Q&A platform.

Make sure you are passing the correct username and password.

• If you want to connect from the local machine, you need to use the same username and password of the local machine.
• If you are connecting to the domain machine, you need to use the domain username and password.

Initially I had provided incorrect password and tried to test the connection and got the same error message as shown above: Cannot connect to 'C:\'. Detail Message: The system could not find the environment option that was entered The system could not find the environment option that was entered

Once I provide the correct username and password, I'm able to connect successfully.

For more details, refer Copy data to or from a file system by using Azure Data Factory

Hope this helps. Do let us know if you any further queries.
