Summary
The documentation exclusively references Windows Server as the supported platform for Azure File Sync, with all steps and examples (such as Robocopy usage and DFS-N) tailored to Windows environments. There are no Linux equivalents or cross-platform guidance provided, and Windows tools are mentioned without alternatives.
Recommendations
- Explicitly state platform limitations if Azure File Sync is Windows-only, or clarify if Linux support is planned.
- If Linux support exists or is planned, provide equivalent instructions for deploying, registering, and migrating Azure File Sync endpoints on Linux servers.
- Offer Linux-native file copy commands (e.g., rsync) as alternatives to Robocopy, with example syntax.
- Mention Linux-compatible namespace redirection solutions if available, or clarify DFS-N is Windows-only.
- Add a section comparing platform support and guiding users on cross-platform migration strategies if relevant.
