Summary
The documentation is heavily biased toward Windows environments. All instructions, prerequisites, and examples are exclusively for Windows Server. Only Windows tools (Server Manager UI, PowerShell, netsh, Windows file paths, Windows-specific agent installers) are mentioned. There are no Linux equivalents or cross-platform notes, and all scripting and automation is shown with PowerShell. The documentation assumes the user is operating within a Windows Server context and does not address Linux or cross-platform scenarios.
Recommendations
- Clearly state early in the documentation whether Azure File Sync is supported only on Windows Server, or if Linux support is planned or available.
- If Linux support exists or is planned, provide equivalent instructions, examples, and prerequisites for Linux systems (e.g., agent installation, registration, proxy configuration, and management).
- If Azure File Sync is Windows-only, explicitly mention this limitation in the introduction and prerequisites to set user expectations.
- Where possible, provide cross-platform PowerShell Core (pwsh) examples and clarify if cmdlets or modules are compatible with Linux/macOS.
- For proxy and network configuration, include Linux equivalents (e.g., modifying environment variables, editing relevant config files, using Linux command-line tools).
- Avoid assuming the presence of Windows-only tools (e.g., Server Manager UI, netsh) without alternatives or explanations for non-Windows users.
