Recursive Upload to Azure-Files / Create Subfolder

i want to Upload a folder recursivly to an azure-files storage. The file structure usually has several subfolders. What is the best way to create the subfolders in azure-files?

    foreach (string fullLocalFilename in System.IO.Directory.GetFiles(locationOfFolderToUpload, "*.*", System.IO.SearchOption.AllDirectories))
            {
                Console.WriteLine(fullLocalFilename);
                FileInfo localfile = new FileInfo(fullLocalFilename);
                var root = share.GetRootDirectoryReference();
                string strPfad = localfile.DirectoryName.Substring(3);
                var folder = root.GetDirectoryReference(strPfad);
                Console.WriteLine(strPfad);
                folder.CreateIfNotExists();
                CloudFile file = folder.GetFileReference(localfile.Name);
                if (file.Exists() == false) {
                    file.Create(localfile.Length);
                    file.UploadFromFile(fullLocalFilename);
                    Console.WriteLine(fullLocalFilename);
                }
}

WebException: The remote server returned an error: (404) Not found.

I suggest you make use of Microsoft.Azure.Storage.DataMovement, it supports uploading directory to azure as well create the same structure like in local path. Please install the latest version 1.0.0 of Microsoft.Azure.Storage.DataMovement here. Note that if you have installed other azure storage sdk, please uninstall them first.

For example, if I have a local folder like below:

enter image description here

Use the code below:

using System;
using System.Diagnostics;
using System.Threading;
using Microsoft.Azure.Storage;
using Microsoft.Azure.Storage.Blob;
using Microsoft.Azure.Storage.DataMovement;
using Microsoft.Azure.Storage.File;

namespace AzureDataMovementTest
{
    class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            string storageConnectionString = "xxxx";
            CloudStorageAccount account = CloudStorageAccount.Parse(storageConnectionString);

            CloudFileClient fileClient = account.CreateCloudFileClient();
            CloudFileShare fileShare = fileClient.GetShareReference("t22");
            fileShare.CreateIfNotExists();

            CloudFileDirectory fileDirectory= fileShare.GetRootDirectoryReference();

            //here, I want to upload all the files and subfolders in the follow path.
            string source_path = @"F:\temp\1";

            //if I want to upload the folder 1, then use the following code to create a file directory in azure.
            CloudFileDirectory fileDirectory_2 = fileDirectory.GetDirectoryReference("1");
            fileDirectory_2.CreateIfNotExists();



            UploadDirectoryOptions directoryOptions = new UploadDirectoryOptions
            {
                Recursive = true
            };

            var task = TransferManager.UploadDirectoryAsync(source_path,fileDirectory_2,directoryOptions,null);
            task.Wait();

            Console.WriteLine("the upload is completed");
            Console.ReadLine();
        }

    }
}

After the code completes running, nav to azure portal -> file storage:

Please let me know if you have more issues.
