Yes, this was a breaking change with Azure File Copy V4 (hence a new version).

The Service Principal needs to also have Storage Blob Data Contributor permissions on the Storage account. This is because of AzCopy.exe logging in using the Service Principal Credentials in V4 task. Can you assign the permission and re-queue the pipeline. More details on Azure File Copy V4 task and roles.

AzureFileCopyV4 task is based on new Az modules as opposed to older AzureRm modules. V4 is the way going forward. That being said, we are working on finding the root cause in V2 and V3, and will come with a fix asap.

@trevonmckay We have fixed the issue in latest version of AzureFileCopy. It will take at least 5-6 weeks to get deployed.

@asranja Just to follow up that did fix the issue and the V4 task is now working after I gave the Service Principal the correct permissions on the Storage Account. Thank you!

If you need any tests of the V2/V3 tasks, I would still be happy to test those and verify they will fix the reported issue.

Thank you again!
