Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
If you set a Maximum transfer rate in settings it also rate limits copying objects within Azure when really I just want it to limit my local upload speed.

Describe the solution you'd like
Something that allows a max transfer rate just for local transfers. Maybe there is a valid use case for rate limiting copy inside Azure if you have lot of traffic?

The AzCopy command that gets run when copy and paste within storage explorer:
./azcopy.exe copy "https://xxxxxx.blob.core.windows.net/xxxxxx/1" "https://xxxxxx.blob.core.windows.net/xxxxx/2" --overwrite=prompt --recursive --cap-mbps 15 --s2s-preserve-access-tier=false;

Maybe you can just check if both src and dst are x.blob.core.windows.net and not apply limit etc.

Thanks.

Research direction

Start by tracing how Storage Explorer turns the Maximum transfer rate setting into the shown AzCopy command for copy and paste. Compare local uploads with Azure-to-Azure transfers, then verify that the rate limit remains for local uploads while Azure-side copies no longer receive --cap-mbps.
