Moving and managing files with Azure Storage: AzCopy, Storage Explorer, and Azure File Sync

Azure File Sync = ongoing Windows Server ↔ Azure Files sync

Use Azure File Sync for long-term synchronization in hybrid file server setups. Designed for hybrid: Windows Server plus Azure Files. Azure Files equals cloud 'source of truth'. Windows Servers equals local endpoints (often with caching/tiering). Goal: keep endpoints aligned over time.
