Before proceeding ahead, wish to know
1. The reason for choosing an Azure VM method of migrating the file server ? Have you looked at Azure File Share as an alternative ?
2. If you choose Azure VM, there are tools to replicate contents from On-Premises to Azure, without manual effort. File Share permissions could be inherited from AD if the server gets joined to the domain.
3. If you choose Azure FileShare, the file share can be joined to an AD Domain and file permissions could be inherited.
4. Using NSG-based access to fileshare is like hard-configuring the permissions. If you need to add or remove access, you need to do the changes in AD as well as in NSG. Also, you may need to give access in Azure Portal to the storage account with higher privileges, which is a security risk.
