# Azure Files

## Connections

Create a new connection and choose <code class="expression">page.vars.VENDOR\_NAME</code> as its 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> with an access key or SAS token. Copy the access key from *Home > Storage Accounts > selected storage account > Access Keys* in the Azure portal. Copy the SAS token from *Home > Storage Accounts > selected storage account > Shared Access Signature*.

### 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

Check how the source and destination handle letter case before starting a migration. On a case-sensitive system, `MyFile.txt` and `myfile.txt` can be two different files. A case-insensitive system treats those names as the same file.

Mover compares paths without regard to case or accents. When several source or destination items have the same case-insensitive name, Mover skips the duplicates and records the conflict in the run log. A single source file can overwrite a destination file whose name differs only by case when their reported sizes differ. Review the dry-run results and remove case-only duplicates before executing the migration.
