When will Robocopy support copy to Azure File Share using AD Authentication

Gina Yang 1 Microsoft Employee

I've also encounter the issue below
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/answers/questions/499780/azure-files-robocopy-error-access-denied-when-copy.html

But, in my scenario, we have blocked using storage account key due to security issue.
Thus I'm wondering when will Robocopy support copy to Azure File Share using AD Authentication, are there any target date for this fix?

@Gina Yang Firstly, apologies for the delay in responding here and any inconvenience this issue may have caused. I am not clear on what the ask is here. What is the issue with Robocopy and Azure File shares?

@Sumarigo-MSFT When I try to use robocopy it errors out when trying to copy the NTFS permissions over. "ERROR 5 (0x00000005) Copying NTFS to Destination Directory Access is Denied".

And from this link, https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/answers/questions/499780/azure-files-robocopy-error-access-denied-when-copy.html
I've found that robocopy only support mounting the file share using storage account and key, but, in my scenario, we have blocked using storage account key due to security issue.

Thus I'm wondering when will Robocopy support copy to Azure File Share mounting with AD Authentication, are there any target date for this fix?
