Description
The Upload to Azure activity allows you to transfer files from your workflow into an Azure Blob Storage container. This is useful for archiving data, sharing processed files, or integrating with downstream cloud systems.
Files can be uploaded directly or temporarily renamed before final placement to prevent conflicts during asynchronous workflows or partial uploads.
Use case:
After generating reports or exporting data as CSVs, use this activity to upload them to a designated Azure Blob directory for business users or downstream systems to access.
