    You can mount the same Azure File Share using the same command on both machines in ANZ and SEA.

    Hi Lorenz Christopher Freud Vila,
    Welcome to Microsoft Q&A Forum, thank you for posting your query here!
    To transfer files from HK to AU using Azure File Share, please check the below steps:

    1. Create Azure File Shares:
    • Set up an Azure File Share in both the source region (HK) and the destination region (AU).
    1. Mount the File Shares:
    • Mount the Azure File Share to a local drive letter on your SEA server. This can be done using the net use command or through the Azure portal.
    1. Transfer Files:
    • Use a tool like Robocopy to transfer files between the mounted drives. Robocopy is a robust file copy utility that can handle large data transfers efficiently.
           robocopy s:\ t:\ /MIR /COPYALL /MT:16 /R:2 /W:1 /B /IT /DCOPY:DAT
      

    Here, S: is the source drive (HK) and T: is the target drive (AU) .

    1. Ensure Data Integrity:
    • Verify the integrity of the transferred files by comparing checksums or using built-in Robocopy logging features.
    1. Update Application Configurations:
    • Once the transfer is complete, update your applications to point to the new file share in AU.

    For detailed information, you can refer to the Microsoft Learn documentation on migrating files between SMB Azure file shares:

    Please let us know if you have any further queries. I’m happy to assist you further.
