Summary
The documentation demonstrates a Windows bias in several ways: Windows terminology and tools (PowerShell, Windows file servers) are used throughout, with Windows-centric concepts (e.g., 'registered servers, which are Windows file servers') presented as the default. PowerShell examples are given for most operations, and in some cases, only PowerShell is supported (e.g., disabling Storage Sync Service public endpoint). Output examples are shown for Windows, and there is no mention of Linux equivalents for Azure File Sync agent or server registration. While Azure CLI and Bash examples are provided for networking configuration, the core sync service is described as Windows-only, and Linux use cases are not addressed.
Recommendations
- Explicitly state platform limitations (e.g., Azure File Sync agent is Windows-only) at the beginning of the article.
- Provide Linux-specific guidance or alternatives for file share access and network endpoint configuration, where possible.
- Include output examples for Linux/macOS terminals alongside Windows/PowerShell outputs.
- Where PowerShell is the only supported method, clarify why and suggest any workarounds or alternatives for Linux users.
- If Azure File Sync is not available for Linux, link to documentation for Linux-compatible Azure Files solutions.
- Review terminology to avoid assuming Windows as the default (e.g., refer to 'on-premises servers' rather than 'Windows file servers' where appropriate).
