FAQ

Q: Can I copy files across different containers or storage accounts?
A: This action is designed for copying within the same container. For cross-container copies, use multiple actions or configure a different connection.

Q: Does the Copy Action overwrite existing files?
A: Yes, if a blob with the same name exists in the destination path, it will be overwritten.

Q: Is the copy operation synchronous?
A: Yes. The action completes once the copy is successfully finished.
