The record

Purpose: Azure Storage Mover is a fully managed service for migrating files and folders from on-premises, AWS S3, and other cloud platforms to Azure Storage.
Destinations and protocols: It migrates to Azure Blob Storage or Azure Files from sources supporting SMB 2.x/3.x, NFS 3/4, and S3.
Migration modes: It supports one-time migrations, recurring transfers, and metadata-only runs that transfer folder structures and permissions without moving data.
Preservation: File transfers can preserve structure, permissions, attributes, and metadata.
Orchestration: An Azure-hosted Storage Mover resource orchestrates migration jobs, manages authentication, and tracks progress, while agents scan and transfer data from on-premises or cloud VMs.
Cloud-to-cloud: For AWS S3 to Azure migrations, Azure Arc connectors provide source access without requiring an agent and data is copied server to server.
Scale: Microsoft says there is no limit on files or directories per job and reports testing up to 500 million objects in on-premises scenarios.
Security: Transfers use HTTPS, and Storage Mover optionally supports Private Link to storage accounts; the FAQ says only metadata passes through the Storage Mover resource region for on-premises migrations.
Regional availability: Storage Mover resources can be created in East US, East US 2, West Central US, West US 3, North Europe, and Sweden Central, while data can be ingested into all Azure public regions.
Cost limits: Storage Mover is free for on-premises-to-Azure and AWS-to-Azure scenarios, while standard storage and networking charges apply.
Agent download: Microsoft provides a downloadable Azure Storage Mover agent for migrating files and folders into Azure Storage.
Intended users: The product page describes the service for hybrid and multicloud migrations, including enterprise-scale workloads.
