Adam the Automator has a good post here about copying files to Azure Blob Storage: https://adamtheautomator.com/copy-files-to-azure-blob-storage/ 
 So, obviously, you could use Export-PWDocuments or Export-PWDocumentsToZip or just CheckOut-PWDocuments from PWPS_DAB and copy the files up with Adam's function. You could also use RClone (or something similar) to just mount Azure Blob Storage as a drive and export to there. This script should install the pieces you need: 
 iex ((New-Object System.Net.WebClient).DownloadString(' https://pwstorageazure.blob.core.windows.net/public/SetUpRCloneWithAzureBlob.ps1')) 
 
 There are issues with RClone in ABS in that empty folders are only "virtually" available until files are written to them, so it takes maintenance in production to keep things in sync, but for a massive file export like I assume you are trying to do, that might work. I'd just try to keep it simple. 
 Your post would probably be more relevant in the PowerShell forum.

Sure. Just mount up Blob Storage as a drive with RClone and export directly to there. Should act just like a disk drive. I've found I have to experiment with the credentials and the service identities, but you can make it work.
