TNWiki Article Spotlight - Azure File Storage - On-premises Folder Sync

Hello and welcome everybody to our TNWiki Article Spotlight on Tuesday.

Sometimes migrating an application to Azure can have some hurdles. One problem can be external dependencies to a storage system, especially file storage systems. With Azure File Storage we have a relatively new storage option in Azure Storage which can help to solve this problem. Chilberto has written an article about one technique you can use to sync an on-premise folder to Azure File Storage. This article explains the problem and different solutions and why they might not be a good fit. After that he shows a fairly simple code snippet to sync an on-premise folder to Azure File Storage.

If you want to play around a little bit with Azure File Storage, this article is a good starting point for a practical problem.
