Azure Migration – Transfer Files to Azure File Share

Everyone knows that we can use Azure File Share Service as a Shared Network Drive using SMB protocol. But what software use to transfer files, just normal Control-C, Control-V via explorer is not so efficient.

One of the Azure native tool is Azure File Sync – but it is also not so efficient during first migration and moreover transfer fromm Azure File Share to On-premise is once per day. My favorite alternatives:

  1. https://freefilesync.org/ (two way)
  2. https://fastcopy.jp/en/ (one way)
  3. http://dimio.altervista.org/eng/dsynchronize/dsynchronize.html (uses NTFS journal for detect changes, Two way)
