  "answer": "<p>The correct answer is <b>azcopy copy D:\\\\DataArchive https://mcnzdata.blob.core.windows.net/public --recursive</b>.</p><p><b>azcopy copy D:\\\\DataArchive https://mcnzdata.blob.core.windows.net/public --recursive</b> is correct because AzCopy is the high performance tool designed for bulk transfers and the command accepts a local source and a container URL as the destination. The <b>--recursive</b> flag causes all files and subfolders under the local folder to be copied. You may need to authenticate or append a SAS token to the destination URL before running the command.</p><p><i>az storage blob copy start https://mcnzdata.blob.core.windows.net/public D:\\DataArchive</i> is incorrect because the storage copy start command is intended to initiate a server side copy from a source URL to a destination blob and it does not accept a local path as the source. The command is not the right choice for uploading local files into a container.</p><p><i>az storage blob upload-batch D:\\DataArchive https://mcnzdata.blob.core.windows.net/public</i> is incorrect because the upload-batch syntax expects a container name as the destination or use of the -d parameter rather than a full container URL in that position. The Azure CLI upload commands also require appropriate account context or credentials and for large bulk uploads <b>AzCopy</b> is typically preferred for speed and reliability.</p>",
