How to copy file to Azure Blob when using Azure Pipeline

Question

I have tried so many times but still getting an error like below:

"The pipeline is not valid. Job Job: Step AzureFileCopy input ConnectedServiceNameARM references service connection xxxxx-xxx-xx-xxxx-xxxxxxxx which could not be found.The service connection does not exist or has not been authorized for use. For authorization details, refer to https://aka.ms/yamlauthz."

On the right side, there is a "Authorize resources" button. But whatever how I click it, it will show "An error occurred while auto-authorizing resources"

And here is part of my yaml file:

task: AzureFileCopy@3
inputs: 
    sourcePath:'AddFunction/bin/Debug/AddFunction.exe' 
    azureSubscription:'xxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxx' 
    destination: AzureBlob 
    storage:'1234' 
    containerName: 'test'

Also I have connected the Service connections on the Azure Pipeline, and I chose the "Azure Resource Manager" for my resource type.

Any ideas or pointers would be greatly appreciated.

If you want to upload files to Azure Blob, you can do the exact same thing by Azure Cli in a Powershell script and trigger it through Powershell Task from Azure Pipeline.

# PowerShell
# Run a PowerShell script on Linux, macOS, or Windows
- task: PowerShell@2
  inputs:
    #targetType: 'filePath' # Optional. Options: filePath, inline
    #filePath: # Required when targetType 

The Powershell script will be like

#First, You have to login with a service principal.
az login --service-principal -u $AZ_NAME -p $AZ_PWD --tenant $AZ_TENANT

#upload your file by az storage blob 
az storage blob upload --container-name $container_name --file $file_to_upload --name $blob_name

This may not be the perfect answer, but I hope it can help you and save your day.
