Summary
The documentation is exclusively focused on Windows Server environments, with all examples, instructions, and screenshots tailored to Windows. It uses Windows-specific tools (Server Manager, Internet Explorer, PowerShell) and does not mention Linux or provide Linux equivalents or alternatives. There are no cross-platform notes, nor any guidance for non-Windows users.
Recommendations
- Add a section clarifying platform support and explicitly state whether Azure File Sync is available for Linux servers or not.
- If Linux is supported, provide equivalent instructions for deploying Azure File Sync on Linux, including setup, agent installation, and configuration steps.
- Include Linux command-line examples (e.g., Bash, Azure CLI) alongside PowerShell commands where applicable.
- Reference Linux tools and workflows (such as mounting SMB shares, using curl/wget for downloads, etc.) where relevant.
- If Azure File Sync is Windows-only, make this clear early in the documentation and suggest alternative solutions for Linux environments (such as Azure File Share with SMB/NFS mounts, or third-party sync tools).
- Consider adding a comparison table of features and limitations for Windows vs. Linux file server integration with Azure.
