How to create the azturbo parameter?

We are using Quest essentials to migrate a bunch of file folders to SharePoint Online.

Using the Quest Essentials tool I can configure a command using the turbo migration. It results in something like this:

essentials -cmd importfiles -path "C:\Temp\Storage\Demo Docs\images" -trgtsite "https://<domain>.sharepoint.com/sites/Sample2" -trgtlist "targetDoclib" -trgtuser "shpadmin@mydomain.com" -trgtepass "<encryptedpass>" -overwritebehavior dont_copy -copySharedFiles -log '1output.log.xml' -azturbo "migrationtest CDHx057<long key>... azure://migrationtest" -noSplash

These commands work and do migrate the requested files.

According to the documentation the azturbo parameter is: --azurturbo "[storage account] [account key] [host]"
However when using the Quest Essentials I notice that the [account key] is changing constantly.

Since I have >7000 folders to migrate, I would like to generate these essentials commands. But it's not clear to me on how to correctly generate the [account key] part from the 'azturbo' parameter.

Do we have more information on this?

If you are using a private Azure storage account, you would need to specify the storage account name and account key, which would be generated by your Azure environment. If you are using the Microsoft provided public storage then just include the -AZTurbo flag without any of the additional information. You can find more information about Azure Storage account keys at the following URL; https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/storage/common/storage-account-keys-manage?tabs=azure-portal
