Posted on by Microsoft Employee

Hi, 

 

Is PAD can be used to import and export of files from and to the azure blob storage container (already existing blob container)? 

As a team, we are already having a blob container and blob SAS url. 

Is automation feasible? Please help.

    Thanks! now I got a new SAS key and able to copy the files to blob.

     

    And I have one question here, under blob container, we have many folders. When I execute the azcopy command, it is copying directly to the blob container but when I want to import the files from local to directly to one of the folders, then where to specify the folder name in the command?

    Hi @Anonymous ,

     

    Try like this,

     

     

     

     

    azcopy cp "/path/to/file.txt" "https://[account].blob.core.windows.net/container/somerootfolder/somechildfolder?xxxxremainingurlhere"
