Move files from an Azure Files share into SharePoint
DocEvent polls your Azure Files (SMB) share on a schedule and delivers each collected file into a Microsoft 365 SharePoint document library. The application keeps writing to the share; the documents show up in SharePoint.

How Azure Files Pull to SharePoint routing works

SharePoint
Files are delivered into a SharePoint document library.
1
File arrives via Azure Files Pull
Scheduled polling of an Azure Files (SMB) share using the storage account name and access key. Collects from a directory with filename pattern filtering and completed-file detection, then each collected file is deleted or moved to an archive folder.
2
Channel routes it
DocEvent's channel server matches the incoming file to your configured route, queues it for delivery, and ensures no file is ever lost — even during downstream outages.
3
Delivered to SharePoint
Delivery into a Microsoft 365 SharePoint document library through the Microsoft Graph API, using a reusable Microsoft connection rather than a secret pasted onto the endpoint. Pick the site, library and destination folder, and decide what happens when the name already exists — keep both, replace it (SharePoint keeps the version history), or fail the delivery. Large files are uploaded in chunks.
Common use cases
Real workflows that teams automate with a Azure Files Pull → SharePoint channel.
- Publish output from a lift-and-shift application into Microsoft 365
- Give staff SharePoint access to files on an SMB share
- Bridge a Windows file share to a modern document library
- Archive share contents where they can be versioned and searched
The two ends don't have to be the same company — invite a customer or trading partner into the channel and they run the Azure Files Pull or SharePoint side under their own account, with their own credentials. Learn how shared channels work.
