Notes from AzCopy team:

• Totally doable
• Users may have bad perf if not using "large file share" feature
• Losing empty folders if copying to non-Gen2
• Lose SMB info

We are going to support copying blobs/files among blob containers, ADLS Gen2 containers and file shares on the explorer side. The container level copy will still be limited to the same type of service.
