  "answer": "<p>The correct option is <b>azcopy copy D:\\DataArchive https://mcnzdata.blob.core.windows.net/public --recursive</b>.</p><p><b>azcopy copy</b> is the right choice because AzCopy is the high performance tool designed for moving large sets of files from a local path to Azure Storage and the <b>--recursive</b> flag instructs it to transfer all files and subfolders under D:\\DataArchive. The command accepts a local directory as the source and a container URL as the destination which matches the requirement to upload everything to the public container.</p><p><i>az storage blob upload-batch D:\\DataArchive https://mcnzdata.blob.core.windows.net/public</i> is incorrect because the Azure CLI batch upload command expects parameters like --source and --destination or a container name and account details rather than a bare URL in that position. The shown syntax would not be valid and the Azure CLI upload-batch is generally less optimized for very large high performance transfers than AzCopy.</p><p><i>az storage blob copy start https://mcnzdata.blob.core.windows.net/public D:\\DataArchive</i> is incorrect because the copy start command performs a server side copy from a source URL to a specific blob in storage and it cannot read directly from a local file path. The command also expects a destination blob name rather than a local directory.</p><p><i>azcopy sync D:\\DataArchive https://mcnzdata.blob.core.windows.net/public --snapshot</i> is incorrect because sync is intended to mirror differences between source and destination and the presented flag is not appropriate for a simple full upload. To copy an entire local directory tree the recommended and explicit command is the AzCopy copy form with the recursive option.</p>",
