I have a straightforward question related to an exam by Tutorials Dojo. The question states: "Your company has an Azure Storage account named TutorialsDojo1. You have to copy your files hosted on your on-premises network to TutorialsDojo1 using AzCopy. What Azure Storage services will you be able to copy your data into?" The official answer provided is that you can only copy data into blob and file services. However, I've come across information that suggests it might also support tables. Is Tutorials Dojo's answer correct?

The main takeaway from questions like this is understanding what AzCopy supports. It’s primarily for blob and file types. Always check the documentation for the latest info; they provide solid guidance on what you can do with AzCopy.
You're right that you can't copy table data directly into table storage without some code. You might get data into a storage queue, but that's not exactly copying. So while the Tutorials Dojo answer is technically accurate, the question could be worded better to avoid confusion.
To sum it up: AzCopy is mainly for blobs and files. You can also transfer data between them, but when it comes to tables, it's a different ball game. Their FAQ or documentation will make this clear that blob and files are the focus for AzCopy—just a hint to help you out on similar questions!
I couldn't find any info on AzCopy supporting tables; the primary services are indeed blob and file. Azure changes constantly, so it's wise to stick to the official documentation. You can definitely copy to blob and files, but as for tables, it's tricky since you might need to write code to handle that. Tutorials Dojo can sometimes be outdated because of those swift changes in Azure!
Thanks for the clarification! I'll definitely check the documentation more closely.
Got it, thanks for the insights!
