Summary
The documentation is heavily biased towards Windows environments, with all examples, commands, and instructions using Windows-specific tools (PowerShell, Command Prompt, reg.exe, fsutil, NTFS attributes, Windows Registry). There is no mention of Linux support, nor are any Linux equivalents or cross-platform considerations provided. The documentation assumes the user is operating on Windows Server and does not address how to manage Azure File Sync tiered files from Linux or other platforms.
Recommendations
- Explicitly state platform requirements and limitations at the top of the document (e.g., Azure File Sync is only supported on Windows Server).
- If Azure File Sync is not supported on Linux, clarify this in the documentation and provide links to alternative solutions for Linux users.
- If any functionality is available via REST API, Azure CLI, or portal, provide examples for those methods to enable cross-platform management.
- Where possible, mention or provide parity for Linux (e.g., how to check file tiering status, manage exclusions, recall files) or explain why such actions are not possible.
- Add a section addressing cross-platform scenarios, including guidance for hybrid environments or alternatives for non-Windows systems.
