Summary
The documentation page exhibits a moderate Windows bias. Windows terminology, tools, and patterns (such as Active Directory, Windows Server, and PowerShell) are mentioned first or exclusively in several sections. Azure File Sync is described as transforming a Windows Server into a cache, with no Linux equivalent. Examples and recommendations for mounting, authentication, and backup reference Windows and PowerShell before Linux or CLI alternatives. The documentation assumes familiarity with Windows concepts and tools, and Linux-specific guidance is less prominent or absent in some areas.
Recommendations
- Provide equal or parallel examples for Linux environments, including mounting, authentication, and backup operations using Linux tools and CLI.
- Discuss Linux-based caching or synchronization options, or clarify that Azure File Sync is Windows-only and suggest alternatives for Linux users.
- Ensure that protocol and authentication sections give Linux and macOS guidance equal prominence to Windows, including step-by-step instructions and troubleshooting.
- Include CLI and REST API examples alongside PowerShell for all management operations.
- Review and update terminology to avoid assuming Windows-centric infrastructure (e.g., Active Directory) as the default.
