FAQ
Q: Is the move operation atomic?
A: The action performs a copy followed by a delete. The file will exist in the destination after the copy and be removed from the source.
Q: Can I move files between different containers or storage accounts?
A: This action is designed for moving files within the same container. For cross-container moves, use a combination of Copy and Delete actions.
Q: What if the destination file already exists?
A: The existing file will be overwritten.
