[Azure Files](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/storage/files/) is a cloud provider operating from [portal.azure.com](https://portal.azure.com/). To set it up as a source system for Shuttle, you need your Account Name and an Access Key to authorize your Azure File system.  For more information on setting up Access Keys for authorization, see [this documentation.](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/storage/files/authorize-data-operations-portal)

## Set up Azure Files as source system

1. 1. Provide a unique name for the job.
   2. Select **Azure Files**.
   3. Provide the **Account Name**.This is the name of your storage account, which should be listed in the upper left corner of your home screen when you log into [portal.azure.com](https://portal.azure.com/). It is usually also the name for your Microsoft tenant.
   4. Provide **the Access Key**.\
      To get the **Access Key,** select **Access Keys** from the sidebar in the home screen of your Azure Storage Account. Any key listed should provide access to your Azure File storage.

      <Note>
        For best results, use default permissions when creating the keys used for your Azure Files adapter. Reducing permissions can block the adapter from accessing and transferring your data.
