Summary
The documentation is heavily biased towards Windows environments. All examples use Windows-specific tools (Robocopy), Windows command line syntax, and reference Windows services (Storage Sync Agent Service). There are no Linux equivalents or instructions for performing these steps on Linux servers, nor is there any mention of cross-platform alternatives. The documentation assumes the server endpoints are hosted on Windows Server or Windows VMs, with no consideration for Linux-based Azure File Sync scenarios.
Recommendations
- Provide equivalent instructions and examples for Linux environments, including supported file copy tools (e.g., rsync, cp, or smbclient) and relevant command syntax.
- Clarify whether Azure File Sync supports Linux servers, and if not, explicitly state this limitation at the beginning of the documentation.
- If Linux is supported, include steps for managing SMB access, endpoint creation/deletion, and service management on Linux.
- Mention cross-platform tools or approaches where possible, and avoid assuming all users are on Windows.
- If Robocopy is required, explain why and suggest alternatives for non-Windows users.
