Summary
The documentation is heavily biased towards Windows environments. All instructions, examples, and tooling references are specific to Windows Server, including registry edits, file paths, and UI screenshots. PowerShell is the only CLI example provided, and there is no mention of Linux or cross-platform alternatives. Windows-specific tools and patterns (Server Manager, Microsoft Update, WinHTTP, Windows Failover Cluster, Windows Server storage QoS) are referenced exclusively, with no Linux equivalents or guidance.
Recommendations
- Clearly state Azure File Sync is only supported on Windows Server, if that is the case. If Linux support is possible or planned, provide equivalent instructions and examples for Linux environments.
- If PowerShell is the only supported CLI, clarify this early in the documentation. If Azure CLI or REST API alternatives exist, provide examples for those.
- Where possible, mention cross-platform Azure management tools (e.g., Azure CLI, portal, REST API) and provide parity in examples.
- For proxy configuration, provide guidance for Linux-based proxies or clarify that the instructions are Windows-only.
- If storage QoS or network throttling is possible on Linux hosts, include equivalent instructions or reference relevant documentation.
- Add a section explicitly addressing platform support and limitations to set expectations for non-Windows users.
