Azure Files 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 .

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.
