Need a help to upload a bulky file on Azure Shared Folder

Hi 

 

I am trying to upload files on Shared folder on Azure Storage Account. I use free file sync to upload the files on Mappe Azure shared folder in my computer.

As soon as it reaches 85%, the file sync fails?. I can not access the Azure portal fully as I am backup Contributor. 

Any help to upload the file would be great. 

 

Thank you

    • You do mean Azure File Sync, right (free file sync???) ?
    • How large is the file you're trying to sync?
    • What are the specs of the registered server e.g. memory, free disk space?
    • What errors do your logs report?

     

    Review this information:

      Thank you for the Reply. 

      The current scenario is I have been given only Mapped drive for the file share. I do not have full authority and this has to be done to replicate the folders From ShadowProtect backups. 

       

      I have used Free File sync (Third party app ) it would fail on  every 86 % as the file size was 1.17TB. Later it has been discovered while using Azcopy that it supports only 1 TB max transfer. 

      I have changed the backup plan and configured ShadowProtect Backup to create not more than 1 TB files. 

       

      Looks the issue is resolved. 

       

      Thank you
