Misleading Path Name in UI of the Azcopy Folder Upload

[xiangwuxw]

• Latest Feb Release 1.70.
• Upload C:\Tools, in the UI, showing C:\ and in the command copied from Storage Explore,

$env:AZCOPY_CRED_TYPE = "Anonymous";
./azcopy copy "C:*" "https://vssperfdiag.blob.core.windows.net/bootdiagnostics-vssperfvm-50b5d752-e428-49a9-a823-52d84b2025a3/?" --overwrite=false --follow-symlinks --recursive --fromTo=LocalBlob --blobType=BlockBlob --list-of-files "C:\Users\xiangwu\AppData\Local\Temp\stg-exp-azcopy-a968bac3-993e-41fb-9a40-bb2b12649bb3.json"
$env:AZCOPY_CRED_TYPE = "";

• Real Folder C:\Tools is in the json file.
• Content of the C:\Tool is correctly uploaded.
• It's a misleading UI issue, similar to upload using AzCopy doesn't include file name in Activity log #930

Hi @xiangwu-ms , the way we structure the AzCopy command is to use the --list-of-files flag. This flag's argument points to a .json file that contains a list of files and folders to upload. Your Tools\ folder is listed in that file. In the future we could structure the command differently if you are only uploading/downloading one item to not use --list-of-files, but for now, to keep the code simple, we're going to stick with this.
