In Azure file copy, can you do a copy into the root container?

My Azure file copy properties within Azure Dev Ops are as follows:

Source: $(System.DefaultWorkingDirectory)/ArtifactName/Folder

Destination Type: Azure Blob

Container Name: container

Blob Prefix: [Blank]

When I go ahead and execute the task, the files within the source folder are successfully copied to:

container/folder/[files]

Where the above path has inherited it's naming from [Container Name] / [Source Folder Name] / [Source File Name]

What I would prefer is for the source folder name to not be inherited and therefore be:

container/[files]

Am I able to achieve this using the Azure file copy task in Azure Dev Ops?

If you specify the source as $(System.DefaultWorkingDirectory)/ArtifactName/Folder. It copies a directory (and all of the files in that directory) to a blob container. The result is a directory in the container by the same name. ie. container/folder/[files]

If you want only the files be copied in the root container. You can specify the source by using the wildcard symbol (*), like this $(System.DefaultWorkingDirectory)/ArtifactName/Folder/*. It will upload the contents of a directory without copying the containing directory. ie. container/[files] See below:

Source: $(System.DefaultWorkingDirectory)/ArtifactName/Folder/*

See azcopy document for more information.
