An Azure blob container without the hierarchical namespace service feature doesn’t have a traditional file system. A standard blob container uses “virtual” folders to mimic this functionality. When this approach is used, files in folders on the source get their path prepended to their name and placed in a flat list in the target blob container.

When migrating data from a source endpoint using the SMB protocol, Storage Mover supports the same level of file fidelity as the underlying Azure file share. Folder structure and metadata values such as file and folder timestamps, ACLs, and file attributes are maintained. When migrating data from an NFS source, the Storage Mover service represents empty folders as an empty blob in the target. The metadata of the source folder is persisted in the custom metadata field of this blob, just as they are with files.
