Answer 1

@Vardhan Joshi Thank you for providing more details. For moving data between Azure Blob Container to Azure File shares, you can use Azcopy. Here is an example command that you can use to copy the data between them:

azcopy copy 'https://<storage-account-name>.<blob or dfs>.core.windows.net/<container-name>/<blob-path>'  'https://<storage-account-name>.file.core.windows.net/<file-share-name>/<file-name><SAS-token>'  

Please refer to the following documents for more information:

2. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/storage/common/storage-use-azcopy-files#upload-a-file

@Vardhan Joshi Thank you for reaching out to Microsoft Q&A. I understand that you want to move data from SharePoint to Azure File shares.

At the moment, there is no direct product or service that will help you directly move data from Sharepoint to Azure. However, here are some suitable workarounds for this:

Recommendation using Microsoft Service:

Recommendation using third party Service:

Note: The third party articles are recommended to help you find alternatives, Microsoft does not verify if the third party workarounds work completely.

Hope this helps. Please let us know if you have any further questions and we will be glad to assist you further. Thank you!
