Azure- one drive transfer

I am very new to microsoft azure. I would like to transfer 5gb of files(datasets) from my Microsoft one drive account to azure storage(blob storage I guess), and then share those files to about 10 other azure accounts on azure(I have some idea as to how to share files these files). I am not really sure how to go about it, and I prefer not downloading the 5gb of files from one drive and then uploading to azure. Help would be greatly appreciated, thanks a lot.

I think this is a very genuine question as downloading huge files and uploading them back is a very expensive and time consuming task. You can refer to a template here which would allow you to do a server side copy.

Hopefully, if not you, someone else would be benefited with this.

David's comment is correct, but I still want to provide a couple links to get you started. Like he mentioned, if you can break this into several questions that are more specific you can probably get much better StackOverflow response. I think the first part of the question could be phrased as 'How can I quickly transfer 5GB of files to Azure storage?'. This is still opinion based to some degree but has a couple more finite answers:

  1. AzCopy/DmLib are, respectively, a command line tool and an Azure library that specialize in bulk transfer. There's a couple options including async copy and sync copy. These libraries are specialized to a greater degree for upload/download from the file system but will get you started.
  2. There's a variety of language storage libraries where you can write custom code to connect up with OneDrive. Here is a getting started with .Net.
