Azure Data Lake Gen2 - How do I move files from folder to another folder using C#

Question

I have provisioned Datalake gen2 and in C# I am looking for an option on how to move a file from one folder to another folder? With blob storage it's simple but with Datalake I am getting confused about which SDK to use and how it can be done in C#

Also, can I use SAS token generated at the container level for authentication?

Do you mind if renaming the file? – Jim Xu May 10 '21 at 01:00 — Jim Xu, May 10 '21 at 01:00
