Azure Storage move blob to other container

Question

I'm looking for an approach to move a blob in Azure from one container to another. The only solution I found is to use the Azure Storage Data Movement Library, but this seems to work between different accounts. I would like to move the blob within the same account to an other container.

Accepted Answer

Here is what worked for me (answer edited after better answer by @Deumber was posted):

```
    public async Task<CloudBlockBlob> Move(CloudBlockBlob srcBlob, CloudBlobContainer destContainer)
    {
        CloudBlockBlob destBlob;

if (srcBlob == null)
        {
            throw new Exception("Source blob cannot be null.");
        }

if (!destContainer.Exists())
        {
            throw new Exception("Destination container does not exist.");
        }

//Copy source blob to destination container
        string name = srcBlob.Uri.Segments.Last();
        destBlob = destContainer.GetBlockBlobReference(name);
        await destBlob.StartCopyAsync(srcBlob);
        //remove source blob after copy is done.
        srcBlob.Delete();
        return destBlob;
    }
```
