How to copy the fileshare as-is between the storage accounts using ADF Copy data pipeline?

I have the two storage accounts in two different subscriptions and each storage account has only one fileshare. I don't want to give the fileshare names explicitly in the pipeline parameters with the names of source_fs, target_fs as shown in the 1st step of this stack overflow solution.

While creating the Linked Service itself, I have selected the file share.

So, How do I configure the Copy Data Pipeline without this dynamic parameters entering to the piepline. I just need to copy one fileshare data directly between the storage accounts.

Solution

  • It's a file share data, where data can be json or any other formats - In simple it is binary data.
