Summary
The documentation page exhibits a Windows bias in several ways. Azure File Sync is described as a solution for 'Windows file servers', and all sync group/server examples and references are Windows-centric. PowerShell is heavily featured, with detailed scripts and output, while Linux/macOS equivalents are not provided for sync agent/server scenarios. Some test outputs are shown only for Windows, and there is no mention of Linux-based Azure File Sync agents or guidance for non-Windows environments. Azure CLI examples are present, but PowerShell is often given more detail and is the only option for certain tasks (e.g., disabling Storage Sync Service public endpoint).
Recommendations
- Clarify whether Azure File Sync supports only Windows file servers, or provide guidance for Linux/NAS scenarios if available.
- Where PowerShell is used for management or testing, provide equivalent Bash/Linux shell commands and outputs where possible.
- If certain features (such as disabling Storage Sync Service public endpoint) are only available in PowerShell, explicitly state the limitation and suggest alternatives or workarounds for Linux users.
- Include example outputs for Linux/macOS terminals alongside Windows outputs when demonstrating DNS or connectivity tests.
- Review and update prerequisites and terminology to avoid assuming Windows-only environments, and mention platform limitations or support explicitly.
