Answer 1

It looks a definite syntax issue where the source directory is not able to process well. You may paste the exact command you use (with some fake characters to hide the sensitive info) here to validate it. In short, give quotes ("") for indicating source directory within the command

Answer 2

Hello @Ibrahim Adeniregun ,
There can be multiple reasons for this issue:

1. Try to check the account key used to generate the SAS
2. Make sure your SAS token is valid
3. Check couple of options mentioned at https://stackoverflow.com/questions/24492790/azurestorage-blob-server-failed-to-authenticate-the-request-make-sure-the-value
4. Try to regenerate the keys (like use Key2 instead of Key1) etc
5. Before executing the azcopy copy command; try to login using the command: azcopy login --tenant-id <tenantid>
6. Also check if there is any firewall for the storage account.

Answer 3

As indicated in the error INFO: Any empty folders will not be processed empty folder can't processed by azcopy
Just create a file inside the source directory and try the azcopy command again to see if it helps
