# Azure Files

## Add a <code class="expression">page.vars.VENDOR\_NAME</code> Connection

Create a new Connection and choose <code class="expression">page.vars.VENDOR\_NAME</code> for the connection type.

Provide a *Connection Label* so you can identify the connection in a list. This is especially important if you need more than one connection of the same type.

### Account Details

*Azure Files Account* - The name of your Azure Storage Account, as shown in your *Microsoft Azure web portal > Home > Storage Accounts* page.

*Azure Share Name* - The name of your Azure file share, as shown in your *Microsoft Azure web portal > Home > Storage Accounts > selected storage account > File shares* page.

### Credentials

Mover can authenticate to <code class="expression">page.vars.VENDOR\_NAME</code> using either an Access Key or SAS Token. If you're using *Access Key*, copy the value from your *Microsoft Azure web portal > Home > Storage Accounts > selected storage account > Access Keys.* For the SAS Token, copy the value from your  *Microsoft Azure web portal > Home > Storage Accounts > selected storage account > Shared Access Signature* page.

### Advanced Settings

To connect to Azure Files storage in US Government Azure, set the advanced setting for the *Azure DNS Suffix* to `core.usgovcloudapi.net`.

## <code class="expression">page.vars.VENDOR\_NAME</code> is Not Case Sensitive

Be aware of case sensitivity differences when copying, moving, or syncing files and folders between connections. Copying items from a system which is not case sensitive to another that is case sensitive could result in 1 item being treated as 2 different ones, such as attempting to overwrite `MyFile.txt` with `myfile.txt` .&#x20;

In the other direction, copying from a case sensitive system to another that is not case sensitive can cause files to be overwritten, and folders to have their contents merged, if their case *insensitive* names are a match.
