Azure Storage - #4 - Azure Files Sync

You produce great material. Thank you.

Great video as usuaI realize this video is 4 years old but the same pretty much apply. However, please to report file shares support up to 100TiB today

Good video. It's one-way out of the box I guess, on-premises to cloud?

This is awesome, but is there now an application that makes those file share files available to the user while out of the office? (Similar to how users can sync with One Drive)

this is the best series i followed on azure technologies.

Best playlist for Azure fundamentals concepts.Thanks a lot.

Hi, Great video, can I clasify the information according the age, if the file have more than 1 year? , for example: I want to move this file to a read-only cold tier, Is that possible with Azure files?

I am absolutely SHOCKED by how clear your videos are!!!! I swear I just took az-104 course and somehow I feel like I must have slept a few hours when I am watching your videos!!!! AMAZING!!!! That video is gold!

How do you secure the share ???
is there a way to only allows a few static ip-address to access the cloud share ???
Do we need backup or is it like OneDrive ???

Can this setup be used with Azure RMS encryption? If yes, does this imply that receiver has to have RMS installed in their machine?

Nice video! Congrats! Is Azure file sync able to give you audit trails so you can monitor who accesses the files from the local servers?

Great Content! I have configured the Azure file Sync server cached to on-premise server, so my NTFS permission from local will be applicable on azure file share? will it be inherited from local cache server to azure file share and then to other server endpoints as well in different location?

Also as per my experience azure files does not have NTFS permission mechanism without ADDS or windows AD integration?

Really good video, I’ve watched a few on the topic but yours was the most clear. I am wondering how to onboard existing data (without moving data into the new Azure created share) and I’m assuming NTFS permissions are maintained?

Hey, Great video and it helped me understand Azure File Sync even better, but one thing i haven't fully understood when im labbing with it is.

- Does "Azure File Sync" actully sync both ways or just one way (I only had it working from my Server -> Cloud.
Would love to have an answer

We have small remote offices connected over MPLS 10Mb links. Each office has a local server providing a number of services including the user and shared office drives that are mapped via GPO. We replicate their data back to HQ each night using DFS-R for backup. Its time to replace the servers and I'm interested in Azure Files and AFS to replace all of this over our MPLS to ExpressRoute connection. Any suggestions on a best practice config, testing, etc?

Hi, I have a issue..sync works from server to azure blob but other way around, if changes made on azure such as adding sub folder or files doesn’t reflect in server. (Waited 24hours but still the same issue)

Thanks for d video, how can we provide Multiple user access to Same File, Through Win AD or RBAC?

Thank you for this! Do we need to have site to site vpn on for this? Or this is going through the Internet?

I didn't understand your example with the 2GB video file. If you have a 2GB video file tiered to the cloud and you open it to watch the first 5 seconds, it will download the whole thing not only the first 5s. Or did I miss this feature somehow? Also your while argument about "throwing away the fileserver if it makes trouble" is correct, you can do the same with a SAN attached fileserver, as you can attach the disk to another server too. Still, Azure File Sync looks promising, already using it in some small scale production scenarios. And thanks for the video, good summary!
