Hi @databicky ,

To copy or move data from one folder to another folder in Azure Data Lake Storage (ADLS), you must first create a mount point for that container. A mount point is a directory on your driver that is linked to a specific container in ADLS. Once you have created a mount point, you can access the data in the container as if it were on your DBFS.

From looking at stack trace, it looks like URIException.  Easiest solution would be renaming the file so that there are no square brackets in the filename. 

If this is not an option, it might help to URLEncode the path - https://stackoverflow.com/questions/56787003/how-to-fix-an-uriexception-about-an-illegal-character-i...
