**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. The same behavior applies to Azure Files. Under shares for Azure Files, first-level entities are shares, second-level entities are files.

If using a Linux client, use the following command to mount the SMB share. The "vers" parameter below is the version of SMB that your Linux host supports. Plug in the appropriate version in the command below. For versions of SMB that the Data Box supports see [Supported file systems for Linux clients](./data-box-system-requirements.md#supported-file-transfer-protocols-for-clients)
Once you're connected to the Data Box shares, the next step is to copy data. Before you begin the data copy, review the following considerations:

* Make sure 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 the VHDs to page blob. If the data format doesn't match the appropriate share type, then at a later step, the data upload to Azure will fail.

* While copying data, make sure that the data size conforms to the size limits described in the [Azure storage account size limits](data-box-limits.md#azure-storage-account-size-limits).

* If you want to preserve metadata (ACLs, timestamps, and file attributes) when transferring data to Azure Files, follow the guidance in [Preserving file ACLs, attributes, and timestamps with Azure Data Box](data-box-file-acls-preservation.md)

* If data that is being uploaded by Data Box is also being uploaded by another application, outside Data Box, at the same time, this could result in upload job failures and data corruption.
