How to automate to move files from one location to other folder (Azure File Share)

Question

I am trying to come up with either a script or other process in Azure to move some files into a designated folder (for archiving).

I have been manually moving csv files using Azure Storage Explorer, but it has been time consuming process daily.

How do I go about doing it?

I am willing to script in Powershell or Python, not using other tool such as Power Automate, since it appears that I need to subscribe to it.

What is best practice to do this mundane task in Azure Portal /Azure environment?

Thanks.

Answer 1

There are different ways available to schedule a task in Azure. One of the method is based on Azure Function App. Create a Function App based on Runtime Stack as PowerShell Core with the following PowerShell code.
I have also detailed the procedure to show how to create a function app for this purpose in one of the 'comment' in the following question asked by a different customer
function app

$srcRGName = "name here"  
$srcStgAccount = "qrfree"  
$srcContainer = "source"  
$blobName = "source1/test.txt"  
$srcRGName = "name here"  
$destStgAccount = "qrfree"  
$destContainer = "archive"  
$srcStorageKey = Get-AzStorageAccountKey -Name $srcStgAccount -ResourceGroupName $srcRGName   
$destStorageKey = Get-AzStorageAccountKey -Name $destStgAccount -ResourceGroupName $srcRGName  
$srcContext = New-AzStorageContext -StorageAccountName $srcStgAccount -StorageAccountKey $srcStorageKey.Value[0]  
$destContext = New-AzStorageContext -StorageAccountName $destStgAccount -StorageAccountKey $destStorageKey.Value[0]  
$copyOperation = Start-AzStorageBlobCopy -SrcBlob $blobName -SrcContainer $srcContainer -Context $srcContext -DestBlob $blobName -DestContainer $destContainer -DestContext $destContext -Force
