About AzCopy

AzCopy is a command-line data transfer tool for Azure Storage. You use it to copy files into and out of Azure storage accounts and to keep a local folder in sync with cloud storage, which makes it suited to scripts and large bulk transfers.

The current version is AzCopy v10, developed in the open on GitHub, with a migration guide for users of the older v8. It is aimed at developers and administrators who move data to Azure regularly.

Strengths
