Summary
The documentation is heavily biased towards Windows environments. All examples use Windows-specific tools (Robocopy), and instructions reference Windows services and UI elements (Storage Sync Agent Service, drive letters, SMB access). There are no examples or guidance for performing these tasks on Linux systems, nor are Linux tools or commands mentioned. The documentation assumes the use of Windows Server throughout and does not address cross-platform scenarios.
Recommendations
- Add equivalent instructions and examples for Linux environments, including recommended file copy tools (e.g., rsync, cp, smbclient) and service management commands.
- Clarify whether Azure File Sync supports Linux servers, and if not, state this explicitly. If support exists, provide Linux-specific guidance.
- When mentioning tools like Robocopy, also mention Linux alternatives and provide parallel command examples.
- Avoid assuming drive letters and Windows-specific service names; use platform-neutral terminology or provide Linux equivalents.
- Ensure that steps involving SMB access, endpoint management, and cloud tiering are described for both Windows and Linux, or clarify platform limitations.
