Azure Storage Mover is a fully managed migration service that enables you to migrate your files and folders to Azure Storage while minimizing downtime for your workload. You can use Storage Mover for different migration scenarios such as *lift-and-shift*, and for cloud migrations that you'll have to repeat occasionally. Azure Storage Mover also helps maintain oversight and manage the migration of all your globally distributed file shares from a single storage mover resource.

An Azure blob container without the hierarchical namespace service feature doesn’t have a traditional file system. A standard blob container supports “virtual” folders. Files in folders on the source will get their path prepended to their name and placed in a flat list in the target blob container.

Azure Storage Mover provides a set of management resources that allow you to express your migration plan and retain oversight about migration progress and results for every share you like to migrate.

The [resource hierarchy article](resource-hierarchy.md) has more information about individual Storage Mover resources and how to best use them for your migration.

Create a migration project for every workload you like to migrate. Within a project, define the source, target, and migration settings for each source share your workload depends on. You can remain in full control about when to start the migration of a share, track it's progress, and see its results.

A single storage mover resource, deployed to your subscription, can be used to manage migrations for source shares located in different parts of the world. The storage mover resource does not process your files and folders. Your data is sent directly from the migration agent to your selected targets in Azure. The [planning for an Azure Storage Mover deployment](deployment-planning.md) article has more details.

A single storage mover resource deployed to your subscription can be used to manage migrations for your source shares located in different parts of the world. The storage mover resource itself doesn't process your files and folders. Rather, you'll deploy a migration agent near your source share to send your data directly to the selected targets in Azure.

Azure Storage Mover provides a set of management resources that can be used across every share you intend to migrate. For example, you can express your migration plan and retain oversight about migration progress and results on a per-share basis. To take advantage of this capability, create a migration project for every workload you'll migrate. Within the project, define the source, target, and migration settings for each source share on which your workload depends. You can remain in full control about when to start the migration of a share, track it's progress, and see its results.
