I have setup two datalake Gen2 in one subscription. I am uploading data into FILE SHARES in one of the storage account and try to copy the data to another storage account (Blob container) via data factory. I am not able to set up linked service for data for FILE SHARES from data factory. It only points to Blob containers of the Data Lake.

How do I achieve this? I am trying via data factory as I have to schedule and automatically run this copying once every day. Thanks.

For file shares, Source dataset should be Azure File Storage.

enter image description here

For linked service, there will be a prompt to ask for Host, User name, Password, to point to your fileshare. enter image description here

These Host, Username and Password fields can be obtained when you click on 'Connect' in the Azure file share window.

Hope it helps.
