Amazing that Microsoft still refers to AZCopy for uploading the PST files to Azure blob storage. The command-prompt-based AZCopy tool is so unreliable. "Azure storage explorer" which is referred to for viewing and verifying the uploaded files is so much more convenient for doing the entire process. I know the explorer is said to be in Preview mode, but nevertheless it handles the job much better.

I will however agree that the Azure Storage Explorer makes it easier to see what's stored in your Azure blobs. Assume you are using one of the later versions from here- http://storageexplorer.com/?

The explorer tool is quite nice nowadays, with options to create folders for sorting the data etc.
