- Don't copy files directly to any of the precreated shares. You need to create a folder under the share and then copy files to that folder.
- A folder under the StorageAccount_BlockBlob and StorageAccount_PageBlob is a container. For instance, containers are created as StorageAccount_BlockBlob/container and StorageAccount_PageBlob/container.
- Each folder created directly under StorageAccount_AzureFiles is translated into an Azure File Share.
- If you have an existing Azure object (such as a blob or a file) in the cloud with the same name as the object that is being copied, Data Box will overwrite the file in the cloud.
- Every file written into StorageAccount_BlockBlob and StorageAccount_PageBlob shares is uploaded as a block blob and page blob respectively.
- Azure blob storage doesn't support directories. If you create a folder under the StorageAccount_BlockBlob folder, then virtual folders are created in the blob name. For Azure Files, the actual directory structure is maintained.
- Any empty directory hierarchy (without any files) created under StorageAccount_BlockBlob and StorageAccount_PageBlob folders isn't uploaded.
- If there are any errors when uploading data to Azure, an error log is created in the target storage account. The path to this error log is available when the upload is complete and you can review the log to take corrective action. Don't delete data from the source without verifying the uploaded data.
- File metadata and NTFS permissions are not preserved when the data is uploaded to Azure Files. For example, the Last modified attribute of the files will not be kept when the data is copied.
