Summary
The documentation page shows mild Windows bias. The only example command for copying data uses a Windows-style path (C:\local\path), with no Linux/macOS equivalent. In the 'Download a portable binary' section, Windows download links are listed before Linux and macOS. There are no explicit Linux shell command examples (e.g., using /home/user/path or tar extraction commands), and instructions for decompressing the tar file on Linux are deferred to external documentation. The guidance for adding AzCopy to the system path mentions Windows conventions (e.g., .\azcopy) but does not provide Linux-specific equivalents (e.g., ./azcopy or export PATH).
Recommendations
  • Provide parallel Linux/macOS command examples alongside Windows examples, especially for file paths (e.g., '/home/user/path').
  • Include explicit Linux/macOS instructions for decompressing tar files and adding AzCopy to the PATH (e.g., 'export PATH=$PATH:/path/to/azcopy').
  • List download links in a neutral or rotating order, or group them by OS rather than listing Windows first.
  • Where shell usage is mentioned, clarify differences in invocation (e.g., './azcopy' for Linux/macOS, '.\azcopy' for Windows).
  • Ensure that all examples and instructions are provided for both Windows and Linux/macOS users to achieve parity.
