We want to migrate data from Azure DataLake Gen1 to Azure DataLake Gen2 and we don't want to use Azure DataFactory, is there any way to copy data using azcopy/AdlCopy/Azure Storage Explorer?

No, azcopy, AdlCopy and Azure Storage Explorer don't support copy data from ADL Gen1 to ADL Gen2.

azcopy supports directions are these:

  • local <-> Azure Blob (SAS or OAuth authentication)
  • local <-> Azure Files (Share/directory SAS authentication)
  • local <-> Azure Data Lake Storage Gen 2 (SAS, OAuth, or shared key authentication)
  • Azure Blob (SAS or public) -> Azure Blob (SAS or OAuth authentication)
  • Azure Blob (SAS or public) -> Azure Files (SAS)
  • Azure Files (SAS) -> Azure Files (SAS)
  • Azure Files (SAS) -> Azure Blob (SAS or OAuth authentication)
  • Amazon Web Services (AWS) S3 (Access Key) -> Azure Block Blob (SAS or OAuth authentication)

AdlCopy:

  • From Azure Storage blobs into Data Lake Storage Gen1. You can't use AdlCopy to copy data from Data Lake Storage Gen1 to Azure Storage blobs.
  • Between two Data Lake Storage Gen1 accounts.

If you want to copy data without using ADF, you can refer to this documentation.
