Description

I have Storage Explorer installed on my mac, and mapped a network share to my NAS. I then choose a Storage Container in Storage Explorer and choose to upload a folder. Storage explorer just creates a few hidden files in Azure Storage and just hangs, does not appear do be doing anything else. Are there issues with transferring from a remote file share on a local network to Storage Explorer?

Research direction

Start by reproducing the Storage Explorer upload-folder flow from a mapped NAS share into an Azure Storage container. Investigate why the transfer creates hidden files and hangs, then verify that a remote-share folder upload either completes successfully or reports a clear limitation.
