File shares can support AD credentials only if the operations are targeting directly files and directories, however if it target the storage account or the file share itself then SAS only is supported..so in that question it is AD &SAS for blob , and SAS only for file storage

I checked this source (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/storage/common/storage-use-azcopy-v10#authorize-azcopy) with wayback machine, and now I can say that they edited it after EntraID rebranding. Year ago, there was clear statement about using AD for only blob storage, but now it is not mentioned at all. So I thing now we can you AD for File Shares too. (sorry for bad England btw)

Correct Answer: Box 1: Azure AD & SAS(Blob storage) Box 2: SAS (File storage) There is no recent change to this, the links individuals are posting assuming that File Storage is supported via AD is incorrect.

I think this has been updated now, you can use EntraID to azcopy files too "If you want to upload files to an Azure file share, then verify that the Storage File Data Privileged Reader has been assigned to your security principal."

Finally tested Fileshare vs AzCopy: You cannot copy files to a share by AzCopy when you authenticated via AzureAD. The error is: failed to parse user input due to error: azure files only supports the use of SAS token authentication

For commands that target files and directories, you can now provide authorization credentials by using Microsoft Entra ID and omit the SAS token from those commands. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/storage/common/storage-use-azcopy-files?source=recommendations#get-started
