Even though it ran there, it was still not lightning-fast: it took about 22 hours to copy some 400,000 items (mostly medium-sized jpegs) - 46.5GB worth of data - I would have expected it to be much faster (no more than 5 hours). | |

Agree that I'd usually write a worker to do this but in this case I tried to provide an answer that paid heed to that constraint. You wouldn't need to deploy the WInForms app; literally you'd just drag it across the RDP link as you would connecting to and working with an on-premise server. | |

A simple worker role running a straightforward task is simpler and can scale to multiple instances for faster performance. | |
