Azure Storage Account Geo Replication for File Shares

Question

I have an Azure Storage Account and currently using File Shares with some folder structure, I need to enable Geo-Replication, It looks like Azure Storage Account does not support Geo-Replication for File Shares. Does it? If not, How do I handle the Geo-Replication?

Answer 1

Your storage account type is automatically converted to locally redundant storage (LRS) in the new primary region after the failover. For the account, you can re-enable geo-redundant storage (GRS) or read-access geo-redundant storage (RA-GRS). It is important to note that converting from LRS to GRS or RA-GRS incurs an additional cost.
