[sathyar]

Good explanation . Please make more such videos

Its easy to understand the Azure file sync. Means its replaced the DFS server concept in future?

[maheshkumarnaik]

i have multiple folder in server how can i move separately to file share

[agentcode]

I have implemented Azure File Share successfully, and use DFS-N to publish the share with ABE (access based enumeration) enabled . However users still see Folders they don't have NTFS permission to . . Can you let me know what am I doing wrong here?

[nobody-P]

Hi sir well explanations thank you so much... i have one questions if i have mulyiple DFS server in that time how to configure this?

[ilpipio]

Hi, thanks for this video, could you better specify the sync frequency both on cloud and server endpoints? There’s so many contradictory documentation about that! If you also have some useful documentation link it would be really great!

Is there any way to sync data to blob container by using powershell but without using azcopy?

[kranthikumar]

I have a doubt regarding ACLs for the fileshare. please clarify.
1.case 1:-If I have a fileshare on onprem(location:-Hyd) with access level set to a group. If I change or modify ACL here, will the ACL of the fileshare updated(location:-delhi) with cloudendpoint in azure.

2.case-2:-What if I have all permissions on cloud endpoint and only reader permission defined to that fileshare on on-prem(or vice-versa).Will I be able to edit file on on-prem and on cloud endpoint?According to the features of the fileshare, since I have all permissions defined on the cloudendpoint, will that ACL replicated back to the on-prem and giving me full access to the file share on the on-prem? is this possible?

@freddydubon4619 I am getting sync issue between two az file shares, do you know any mechanism to sync one az file share to another without script as script miss or skip backups

[uditpatel]

How can we share the synced server files to wider user?
. Also is it possible using azcopy to achieve the same.!
