Bug Description
the Move Files dialog explains that files with the same name at the destination will be overwritten, but it does not mention the behavior for directories.
For ADLS Gen2 blobs and file shares:
Moving a file to a destination where a file with the same name exists succeeds and overwrites the existing file.
Moving a directory to a destination where a directory with the same name exists may fail (for example, in Azure Files, or when the destination directory is non-empty in ADLS Gen2).
Resource Types
ADLS Gen2 blobs/File shares
Authentication Method
None
Connection Type
None
Steps to Reproduce
- Expand one ADLS Gen2 storage account-> Blob Containers.
- Create a blob container -> Create a folder.
- Select the folder and click Move.
- Observer the move dialog description,
Actual Experience
The dialog description only states that files with the same name at the destination will be overwritten.
Expected Experience
It would be helpful if the Move Files dialog description also included the behavior when a directory with the same name already exists at the destination.
Additional Context
Here is the move dialog:
