Hi @itbinbin, how are you confirming the copy has succeeded in Storage Explorer? If you are just going on the fact that the blob appears in the Share, that is likely not enough information.

When performing an async copy, the destination file will be created first and then the copy will start/complete at a later time. This is what enables you to call get_file_properties on a pending copy. So just because the file appears in Storage Explorer, doesn't mean the copy is finished. They only way to determine the copy status is by looking at the properties as you are doing.
