We're using this in our production environment using standard tier storage. 

We're happy with the performance so far.  The Standard tier seemed to be adequate for our needs based on this (https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/storage/files/storage-files-scale-targets) KB.

 

There are some slight hiccups with configuring NTFS permissions or viewing the files within the Azure Blade (assuming there's some replication time).  Other than that, it's been working very well for us.

      Christian_Pedersen can you please elaborate? When you say migration are just changing the tier or you are moving the storage account?

        Stefan Georgiev the goal is to move from standard to premium storage account.

         

        The path is the issue - i'm trying to make a new storage account and move all the content over but NTFS permissions is not working so the folders / files have the wrong owner - i cant change it post because it seems like you cant modify Ownership on files on a storage account - tried with ICACLS and Explorer.. 😞
