Summary
The documentation page exhibits a Windows bias in several ways: Azure File Sync is described as a solution for 'Windows file servers' only, with no mention of Linux support or alternatives. PowerShell is heavily featured, with detailed scripts and output examples, while Linux-specific tools or shell commands are either absent or only briefly mentioned (e.g., nslookup). In some cases, only PowerShell instructions are provided (such as disabling the Storage Sync Service public endpoint), and the CLI tab explicitly states that the functionality is not available in Azure CLI. Output examples are shown for Windows but not for Linux/macOS, and there is no discussion of Linux-based file server scenarios or parity.
Recommendations
- Clarify whether Azure File Sync supports Linux file servers, and if not, mention alternatives for Linux environments.
- Provide equivalent Linux shell commands and output examples alongside PowerShell instructions, especially for DNS and network validation steps.
- Where functionality is only available in PowerShell, note this limitation and suggest workarounds or roadmap plans for CLI/Linux parity.
- Include references to Linux-based file sharing solutions or Azure Files usage from Linux, if relevant.
- Ensure that examples and screenshots are not exclusively Windows-centric; add Linux/macOS variants where possible.
