Azure Blob Upload File Directly to Azure from File Server

Question

So right now I have a requirement to upload files directly to Azure Blob from a file server instead of using a stream in a background job. Is there anyway to upload directly to azure from a remote location given a url? Everything I see in the SDK requires the use of some form of a stream. I want to remove the service application as the middleman and let azure upload the file automatically. I couldn't find anyway to do this, nor a stack overflow answer.

Alternative Solutions Using powershell to upload directly to azure blob. Having a specific directory act as like a queue, and any files placed there will be uploaded to azure blob from the file server. Then the background job will do what it needs to from there...

As Andy mentioned in the comments, you can use azcopy to accomplish it.

You can refer to this official documentation:

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/storage/common/storage-ref-azcopy-copy

The grammatical form is like this：

azcopy cp [source] [destination] [flags]

Update:

I am using the Azure.Storage.Blobs SDK.

            BlobServiceClient blobServiceClient = new BlobServiceClient(connectionString);

            BlobContainerClient containerClient = blobServiceClient.GetBlobContainerClient(containerName);
            BlobClient blobClient = containerClient.GetBlobClient(fileName);
            var sourceUri = new Uri("<your-uri>");
            blobClient.StartCopyFromUri(sourceUri);
