Document Details

The documentation page for Azure Files and Azure File Sync exhibits a Windows bias in several ways. Windows terminology, features, and tools (such as PowerShell, Windows Server, and NTFS) are mentioned more frequently and often before their Linux equivalents. Examples and instructions for management and configuration (e.g., Azure File Sync agent installation, SMB protocol features) are primarily focused on Windows environments, with limited or no Linux-specific guidance. Windows tools like PowerShell are referenced repeatedly, while Linux alternatives are less visible or absent. Some features (e.g., Azure File Sync agent via Azure Arc) are described as Windows-only, and there is a lack of parity in example commands or operational guidance for Linux users.
