MSP360 Explorer for Microsoft Azure now supports cross-account copy – a feature of Microsoft Azure that allows copying data between storage accounts within the Azure infrastructure. With the latest enhancements, Explorer for Microsoft Azure has become one of the most efficient and easy solutions for moving data from one Azure account to another. Cross-account copy allows saving time and funds on data migration as you don’t need to move data from Azure to your local computer and back anymore.
Microsoft Azure cross-account copy is enabled automatically when you transfer data directly from one Azure account to another one in the background. There’s no need for any additional configuration – just follow simple instructions below to move or copy data within Microsoft Azure.
How to Use Cross-Account Copy with MSP360 Explorer
- Run MSP360 Explorer for Microsoft Azure.
- Select two different Microsoft Azure storage accounts from the “Source” drop-down list.
- Move any object you want just as usual. Your objects will be transferred using Azure cross-account copy feature.
Cross-account copy feature works only when moving data from any Microsoft Azure accounts to those that have been created after June 7th, 2012. For transferring data to accounts that were created earlier cross-account copy wouldn't work.
