Running azcopy in my cloudshell tells me, there's a new version available.

[ ~ ]$ azcopy --version
azcopy version 10.15.0
INFO: azcopy: A newer version 10.23.0 is available to download

I've tried 

az upgrade

but this doesn't update azcopy.

    @Dieter Lohrsträter

    AzCopy is preinstalled and built into Azure Cloud Shell. Azure Cloud Shell team will periodically perform updates of these applications and they will automatically be updated for you.

    If you absolutely need to run the latest version you can download the Linux version and run it from your home directory.

    wget -O azcopy_v10.tar.gz https://aka.ms/downloadazcopy-v10-linux && tar -xf azcopy_v10.tar.gz --strip-components=1

./azcopy --version

    I confirmed this version will work in either PowerShell or bash for Azure Cloud Shell.
