Microsoft Azure Blob Storage migrations,
without scripts.
Mover is the data-migration tool from Files.com. One-time moves between 20+ providers — no subscriptions, no surprises, no scripts.
Migrate data to or from Azure Blob Storage with Mover — fast, simple, and at a fraction of what other migration tools charge.
The Azure pattern
Why customers move to and from Azure Blob
Most inbound migrations are part of a Microsoft-stack consolidation — M365, Synapse, identity all on one tenant. Most outbound migrations are cost-driven or multi-cloud rebalances. We've watched the same two stories play out across hundreds of moves.
Standardizing on the Microsoft cloud
Teams running Microsoft 365, Synapse, AKS, or Azure Data Factory pull data into Blob to keep it next to the analytics, identity, and compute layer they already use.
Data residency in Microsoft regions
Azure has the widest set of sovereign regions for EU, Middle East, and government workloads. Customers with residency requirements often end up on Azure for the geography.
Hybrid cloud with Azure Arc
Organizations bridging on-prem and Azure use Blob as the durable cloud anchor; Mover backfills it from legacy file servers, NAS, and competing clouds.
Cost arbitrage to Wasabi or Backblaze B2
Both run a fraction of Azure Blob Hot at rest and charge zero egress fees. For read-heavy workloads, the round-trip can pay for itself in months.
Multi-cloud rebalance to AWS or GCS
Moving primary storage to align with analytics tooling, an AWS-first compute stack, or a different vendor relationship.
Cross-region or cross-subscription reorg
Subscription splits, region migrations, or compliance-driven moves between Azure storage accounts.
Common pairings
Pair Azure Blob with any cloud.
Azure Blob migrations rarely happen in isolation. These are the providers we pair with most often — one-click setup on either side, same dry-run flow, same audit trail.
Connection
How Mover connects.
Mover supports 2 standard Microsoft authentication methods. Pick the one that matches how your team manages credentials.
Storage account access key
Standard for accounts you control. Mover reads the key from your storage account and connects directly.
Shared Access Signature (SAS) token
Recommended when you want to scope access tightly — to a single container, with an expiration window, with read-only or write-only permissions.
Egress Savings
See your twelve-month savings.
Move from a paid-egress provider to one with free egress and your monthly invoice shrinks. Plug in your data size and how much you read from storage each month — the calculator does the rest, including the one-time Mover migration cost.

Numbers use published standard-tier rates from each provider as of May 2026. Actual invoice varies by region, committed-use discounts, and your specific contract. Mover migration cost uses the cheapest combination of prepaid usage packs that covers the data size — packs stack, so a 2 TB migration is two 1 TB packs, not one 5 TB pack. The dry run prices the migration against your actual data and shows the exact one-time Mover cost before you commit.
Getting started
4 steps to Go.
From credential to first byte in four clicks. The dry-run is free, every time, and shows the exact cost before you commit a byte.
Connect Azure Blob.
Paste a storage account access key or a SAS token. Mover validates the credential and lists containers it can see.
Choose source and destination containers.
Apply filters and a date range if you want a partial migration.
Run a dry-run.
Mover walks the source container, counts files, sizes the transfer, and produces an exact cost estimate — Mover fees + Azure egress.
Launch.
Live progress, automatic retries on transient failures. Pause, resume, or cancel at any time.
Common Questions
Frequently asked.
Most teams launch their first migration in under 15 minutes. The dry run is free, every time.
A storage account access key, or a Shared Access Signature (SAS) token scoped to the container you're migrating. SAS tokens are recommended when you want minimum-privilege access with an expiration window.
