Summary
The documentation page exhibits a notable Windows bias. Most examples, troubleshooting steps, and tool references are Windows-centric, with frequent mentions of PowerShell, Windows File Explorer, Windows registry edits, and Windows-specific attributes (NTFS ACLs, offline attribute, etc.). Instructions and examples for Linux (and macOS) are largely absent, even in sections where cross-platform usage is implied. Windows tools and patterns are mentioned exclusively or before Linux equivalents, and Linux-specific guidance is minimal or missing.
Recommendations
- Add equivalent Linux and macOS examples for all PowerShell and Windows command-line instructions (e.g., show how to check/remove alternate data streams, recall tiered files, manage ACLs, etc. on Linux).
- Include Linux-specific troubleshooting steps and tool references (e.g., how to manage tiered files, handle file attributes, audit access, and resolve conflicts on Linux).
- Provide parity in documentation for mounting, syncing, and managing Azure Files on Linux, including examples using native Linux tools (e.g., mount, rsync, setfacl, getfacl, etc.).
- Explicitly mention Linux/macOS alternatives when referencing Windows-only features or behaviors (e.g., clarify how thumbnail previews, file attributes, and ACLs are handled on Linux).
- Reorder sections or examples to present cross-platform instructions together, rather than defaulting to Windows-first.
- Where Windows registry or File Explorer is referenced, provide Linux/macOS equivalents or note platform limitations.
