How to move a file on Azure File Storage from one sub folder to another sub folder using the Azure Storage SDK?

Question

I\'m trying to figure out how to move a file in Azure File Storage from one location to another location, in the same share.

E.g.

source -> \\\\Sh         


        

Answer 1

This is documented in the Getting Started guide on Azure Storage Files reference.

What you need is the StartCopy method to copy the file from one location to another.

// Start the copy operation.
destinationFile.StartCopy(sourceFile);

And, yes, you will have to create the destination directory if it does not exist.
