curious why you are moving to azure files.  I was looking at migrating our onprem files server to azure files and opted to tryout SharePoint online libraries instead. users still get the file explorer experience and we dont have to pay for more storage.  The tests seemed to go ok as far as performance and functionality. i am hoping im not missing something and will be asking this same question you are now in a year.

Not all the users use M365. Customer has already some onprem file servers and an easy transition was to use file sync to move those files.

    joadchob Did you ever find a viable solution. I'm looking to move data from Sharepoint to azure blob for archiving on cool tier. I found a file size limit trying to use mover. Files I'm looking to move are 4gbs per and roughly 2 tbs.
