Move File from Azure Storage Blob

The Move File from Azure Storage Blob step moves a file (blob) from one directory to another directory within the same container in Azure Blob Storage. This allows developers to reorganize files and directories within a container without having to delete and recreate them.

Prerequisites 

This step requires the Azure module to be installed before it will be available in the toolbox. In addition, the step will require the connection string for an Azure Storage account that has access to the container.
