Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a mild Windows bias. In the main example for using AzCopy with a SAS token, only a Windows-style path (C:\local\path) is shown, with no Linux or macOS equivalent. Additionally, when describing how to run AzCopy, the use of '.\azcopy' (Windows syntax) is mentioned before any Linux-specific invocation, and the example command uses Windows path separators. While Linux installation is covered, usage examples and command syntax are Windows-centric.
Recommendations
  • Provide parallel Linux/macOS examples alongside Windows examples, especially for command usage (e.g., show both 'C:\local\path' and '/home/user/local/path').
  • When describing how to run AzCopy, include Linux/macOS shell syntax (e.g., './azcopy') equally or before Windows syntax.
  • Ensure that all example commands use both Windows and Linux/macOS path formats, or use a generic placeholder that is platform-neutral.
  • Explicitly mention differences in path separators and shell invocation between platforms to help users avoid confusion.
  • Consider alternating the order of platform-specific instructions to avoid consistently prioritizing Windows.
