I have one folder in adls gen2 say it as mysource1 folder .. which has 100's of subfolder s and each subfolder again contains folders and many files ..
How can I copy all of the folders and files in mysource1 using azure data factory ..
You could use binary as source format. It will help you copy all the folders and files in source to sink.
For example: this is my container test:
Source dataset:
Sink dataset:
Copy active:
Output:
You can follow my steps.
use ingest tab on ADF Home page, there you could specify source location using linked service and target location

I have to extract only "daily" files from a folder in my C: drive into azure data factory but there are "weekly" files that I don't want to extract. Also, I can't separate the two files in different onprem folders. I have to do this for a client but first I'm practicing on my own computer. Here is the onprem folder that I'm referring to. So the ultimate goal is to only transfer the "daily" files out of the folder and into azure data factory
As suggested by #Scott Mildenberger in comments as your files have similar naming convention you can use wildcard file path to filter files with name.
Sample data
Dataset settings
Source Setting
In file path type select wildcard file path and give daily* It will filter all the files from folder with files contains daily.

How to read files from a subfolder present under nested parent folder using azure data factory?
Container/ABC/Transcation/07654/Audit/Report.csv
Container/CDF/Transcation/07654/Audit/Tranfee/report0910201.csv
Container/FGS/Transcation/07654/Audit/custom/report08092021.csv
I want to retrieve all the files(including the files under subfolder) Under the Audit folder.
While creating dataset specify the folder path.
In source configuration enable Recursively option.
I am trying to copy data from one container in Azure Data lake Gen2 into another in the same Storage Account. I want preserve the same hierarchy with folders and subfolders but whatever I try it does only copy the json file and no folders.
As of now I have the target container set in the target dataset. Should I add something more (such as directory and file)?
I have tested this for you and it can work, please follow this:
1.My container's structure:
examplecontainer
+test
+re
json files
+pd
json files

I am trying to process multiple excel files in ADF to utilize them in a copy data activity to blob storage. Here is how my hierarchy is structured :
My source is an excel sheet coming from SFTP server (linked service).
File path: unnamed folder with multiple .xlsx files. Inside those files, the sheet name varies between sheet1 and table1.
I am trying to create get metadata to get all those files to pass them into a copy activity, but my metadata is never succeeding
Attached below is an elaboration about the problem:
If you only want to copy all excel files from SFTP to Blob Storage, there is no need to use Get Metadata activity.
Please try like this:
1.create binary format dataset
2.choose Wildcard file path when copy data
3.sink to your Blob Storage.
I have a ftp as a source connection where some I have zip file and others are not in compress form. I want to copy the files from ftp,decompress zip files and put all files into azure data lake or azure blob storage wherever it's possible to get decompressed.
I'm using copy data activity where I have a source as ftp and properties is zipDeflate,fastest and binary copy and the sink side, I'm just defining the destination ADL path. The files are getting copied to ADL but they're copying in compress form only.
Please let me know if it's possible to achieve the above objective by using copy activity process?
Using binary copy is your issue here, data factory wont understand the data it is moving to uncompress it. Try the same setup without binary copy!
Hope this helped!
