Azure Files

Learn how to connect to Azure Files

Introduction

Movebot supports moving files and folders to and from Azure Files.

Requirements

To connect to Azure Files in Movebot you will need:

  • To have access to an Azure account with the Storage File Data Privileged Contributor Role

  • Access Keys for the Azure Storage Account

  • The file share name from Azure

  1. When configuring a new connection, select Azure Files from the list of available connections and set the connection name

  2. Provide the Azure account name and account key

    • In Azure, you can find this by navigating to Storage Accounts and selecting the Storage Account you want to connect to. Then navigate to Access Keys. There you can copy the storage account name, and one of the access keys

  3. You also need to provide the file share name of the file share that you want to use

    • In Azure, you can find this inside the Storage Account you want to connect to, and then navigate to File shares

  4. Ensure your Azure Storage Account has the necessary permissions for Movebot to access your data

    • This can be found in Azure by selecting Access Control (IAM) and assigning the role Storage File Data Privileged Contributor to your account to allow Movebot to read and write your file shares

  5. In Movebot, select Save and Test Connection
