Rename Azure Storage blobs to lower case by PowerShell

I need to rename all blobs in a directory in azure storage to lower case as it is case sensitive.

I can do it by writing a c# program but a powershell script would be more convenient.

Does anyone has a script? Thx in advance!

First, you should be aware that blobs cannot be renamed; you'd need to copy each one to a new blob, and then delete the old one when the copy operation is complete.

That said: For your PowerShell script, you could call Get-AzureStorageBlob to get the blobs in a container, and then loop through them with For-EachObject, executing a copy operation on (I believe $_.Name (I'll leave this to you to try). You can copy blobs via Start-CopyAzureStorageBlob, combined with Get-AzureStorageBlobCopyState to know when the copy is complete.
