Summary
The documentation page lists several tools for uploading content to Azure Storage, including Azure CLI, Azure PowerShell, AzCopy, Azure Storage Explorer, Azure portal, Azure Pipelines, and Visual Studio Code extension. While Azure CLI and AzCopy are cross-platform, the inclusion and ordering of Azure PowerShell and Windows-centric tools (Storage Explorer, VS Code extension, Channel 9 video) suggest a Windows-first approach. There are no explicit Linux or macOS-specific examples, nor are Linux-native tools or shell scripting patterns mentioned. PowerShell is highlighted as a primary method, but Bash or other Linux shell examples are missing. The documentation does not provide parity in examples or guidance for Linux users, and the ordering of tools tends to favor Windows environments.
Recommendations
  • Add explicit Bash and Linux shell examples for common tasks (e.g., uploading files, finding URLs).
  • Clarify that AzCopy and Azure CLI are cross-platform and provide sample commands for Linux/macOS.
  • Include Linux-native tools or workflows (e.g., using curl, wget, or scripting with Bash) where appropriate.
  • Balance the ordering of tool recommendations to avoid Windows-first bias (e.g., list CLI and AzCopy before PowerShell and Storage Explorer).
  • Provide screenshots or instructions for Linux/macOS environments in addition to Windows.
  • Mention installation instructions for Azure CLI and AzCopy on Linux/macOS.
  • Avoid referencing Windows-specific video resources (such as Channel 9) without Linux alternatives.
