 Once you are connected to the Data Box shares, the next step is to copy data. Before you begin the data copy, review the following considerations:
 
-- Ensure that you copy the data to shares that correspond to the appropriate data format. For instance, copy the block blob data to the share for block blobs. Copy VHDs to page blobs. If the data format does not match the appropriate share type, then at a later step, the data upload to Azure will fail.
--  While copying data, ensure that the data size conforms to the size limits described in the [Azure storage and Data Box limits](data-box-limits.md). 
-- If data, which is being uploaded by Data Box, is concurrently uploaded by other applications outside of Data Box, then this could result in upload job failures and data corruption.
-- We recommend that you do not use both SMB and NFS concurrently or copy same data to same end destination on Azure. In such cases, the final outcome cannot be determined.
-- **Always create a folder for the files that you intend to copy under the share and then copy the files to that folder**. The folder created under block blob and page blob shares represents a container to which data is uploaded as blobs. You cannot copy files directly to *root* folder in the storage account.
-- If ingesting case-sensitive directory and file names from an NFS share to NFS on Data Box: 
-    - The case is preserved in the name.
-    - The files are case-insensitive.

 If you're using a Linux host computer, use a copy utility similar to Robocopy. Some of the alternatives available in Linux are [rsync](https://rsync.samba.org/), [FreeFileSync](https://www.freefilesync.org/), [Unison](https://www.cis.upenn.edu/~bcpierce/unison/), or [Ultracopier](https://ultracopier.first-world.info/).
