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 command-line utilities (e.g., fsutil, reg, net). There are no Linux equivalents or cross-platform guidance, and the documentation assumes the reader is operating on Windows Server with Azure File Sync agent installed. No mention is made of Linux support, alternatives, or parity.
Recommendations
- Clearly state platform requirements and limitations at the top of the document (e.g., 'Azure File Sync is only supported on Windows Server').
- If Linux support is available or planned, provide equivalent instructions, tooling, and examples for Linux environments (e.g., using Linux file attributes, CLI tools, or configuration methods).
- If Azure File Sync is Windows-only, add a note explaining this and suggest alternative solutions for Linux users (such as using Azure Files directly with SMB/NFS or third-party sync tools).
- Where possible, abstract instructions to be platform-agnostic, or provide links to platform-specific guides.
- Add a comparison table or section outlining feature parity and differences between Windows and Linux for Azure Files and related sync/tiering features.
