Welcome to Microsoft Q&A! Thanks for posting the question.
I understand that you are trying to upload content from local disk (c:) of an Azure VM to Azure blob storage. There are some open questions related to the mentioned scenario which will impact the design of solution, but the following links should get you started in the required direction:-
1. To upload a file to Azure blob storage, you may refer to the basic concept and PowerShell script available in this link: Quickstart: Upload, download, and list blobs with PowerShell
2. Tutorial: Create a PowerShell Workflow runbook in Automation
The following questions and corresponding references should help you decide on the final solution:
a. Is it always a particular VM from where you will have to upload the text file? If this is the scenario, you can make that VM a Hybrid Runbook Worker for Azure Automation. This will enable the Azure Automation script to always execute on that machine, which can contain logic to upload the text file to Azure Blob. Please refer to this link for more details: Automation Hybrid Runbook Worker overview
b. If the VM can change, from where the .txt file is to be uploaded, you may refer to this thread containing generic information on how to run a command/script on a VM on Azure Automation.
c If the .txt file, of interest, is being generated from custom code, you might consider using the Azure SDK to upload the file to Blob Storage as part of the application logic.
d. In case the file being generated is a log which is to be stored for analysis, the custom logs with Log Analytics agent would be a better choice that storing it in blob. This will give you an opportunity to analyze the logs collected using KQL queries in Log Analytics workspace.
