Summary
The documentation exclusively references Windows Server as the platform for Azure File Sync, with all steps and tooling (e.g., Robocopy, DFS-N) being Windows-specific. There are no Linux equivalents, examples, or mentions, and the workflow assumes a Windows environment throughout.
Recommendations
- Clarify in the introduction that Azure File Sync is currently only supported on Windows Server, if that is the case. If Linux support is planned or available, provide equivalent instructions and tooling for Linux environments.
- Where possible, mention cross-platform alternatives to Windows-only tools (e.g., suggest rsync as an alternative to Robocopy for Linux).
- If DFS-N is not available on Linux, suggest alternative methods for user cut-over on Linux systems (such as symbolic links, NFS exports, or Samba configurations).
- Explicitly state platform limitations and provide guidance for mixed or non-Windows environments, or link to relevant documentation for Linux users.
