Summary
The documentation is heavily biased towards Windows environments. All examples, instructions, and tooling references are specific to Windows Server, PowerShell, Windows registry, and Windows utilities (fsutil, reg, net). There is no mention of Linux support, nor are any Linux equivalents or cross-platform alternatives provided. The documentation assumes the reader is using Windows Server and does not address scenarios for Linux or other operating systems.
Recommendations
- Explicitly state platform requirements and limitations at the beginning of the document (e.g., 'Azure File Sync is only supported on Windows Server').
- If Linux support is available or planned, provide equivalent Linux instructions, tools, and examples (e.g., using Linux file attribute commands, systemd/service management, etc.).
- Where possible, mention cross-platform alternatives or clarify that certain features (such as registry settings or PowerShell cmdlets) are Windows-only.
- Add a section addressing Linux users, including guidance on what is or isn't supported, and alternatives for managing Azure Files on Linux.
- Ensure that examples and screenshots are balanced or clearly marked as Windows-specific.
