To transfer files from an on-premises location to an Azure Storage account, you can execute the PowerShell script using Task Scheduler by following the steps.

1. Create a Storage account with blob anonymous enabled.

2. Enable connections from all networks to the on-premises network.

3. Create a new container in your storage account and modify the container's access policy to enable anonymous access.

4. Navigate to the container and generate the SAS token with the necessary permissions, then copy the blob SAS URL.

"C:\Venkat\Azure_AD" : Local Path

5. Here is the script to copy files from an on-premises location to an Azure Storage account.

 azcopy cp "C:\Venkat\Azure_AD"  "https://venkatstoragetest.blob.core.windows.net/venkat?sp=racwdli&st=2024-03-25T06:36:57Z&se=2024-03-25T14:36:57Z&sv=2022-11-02&sr=c&sig=DElfhf6x7YRdabM5SahaS%2BvD1qW0L%2FcVSGIJDJxo8fk%3D"  --recursive

6. To automate file copying to an Azure Storage account, you can utilize the Task Scheduler on an on-premises machine. For configuration , refer to the link by Jeff Melnick on setting up the Task Scheduler.

Output:

After executing the script, the folder was successfully transferred from the on-premises to Azure Blob Storage.
