Migrate Azure Storage account to a different subscription

Question

I have more than one Azure subscriptions, one for myself and others for clients. Can I change the subscription for one of my storage accounts so that it's associated to one of my other subscriptions?

Cannot find a way to do it through the Azure Management Portal. Perhaps it can be done with PowerShell?

Thanks!

Answer 1

我认为您最好的方法是联系 Microsoft Windows Azure 支持，看看他们是否可以提供帮助。

Answer 2

I wanted to post some updated guidance in case anyone else runs into this issue. To move a storage account, you can do it easily for V1 or V2. You can move Classic Storage but its not easy and I would suggest upgrading it to the newer ARM based V1 or V2 storage account. This assume within the region. Moving to a subscription in another region is a different matter. This answer is probably very different that it would have been back in 2014.

Move classic storage

Move V1 or V2 Storage
