# Scalability and performance targets for Azure File Sync
13+
1314
[Azure File Sync](./file-sync-introduction.md) extends [Azure Files](../files/storage-files-introduction.md) to Windows Server, enabling local caching, multi-site sync, and cloud tiering for file shares. This article discusses the scalability and performance targets for Azure File Sync.

The following table indicates which targets are soft, representing the Microsoft tested boundary, and hard, indicating an enforced maximum. An Azure File Sync endpoint can scale up to the size of an Azure file share. If the Azure file share size limit is reached, sync won't be able to operate.
