Summary
The documentation page exhibits mild Windows bias, primarily in the 'SMB encryption' section, which references only Windows versions and tools (Windows Server 2012 R2, Windows 8, etc.) for accessing Azure Files shares. No Linux or macOS equivalents (such as SMB clients or mounting instructions) are mentioned. Additionally, Windows tools are referenced before any cross-platform alternatives, and there are no examples or guidance for Linux/macOS users in sections where platform-specific access may differ.
Recommendations
- Include instructions or references for accessing Azure Files shares with SMB encryption from Linux and macOS clients (e.g., using smbclient, mount.cifs, or other supported tools).
- Mention cross-platform compatibility and provide links or examples for non-Windows environments wherever Windows tools are referenced.
- Ensure that examples and tool references are presented in a platform-neutral order or grouped by OS, rather than Windows-first.
- Add notes or guidance for Linux/macOS users in sections discussing VPN clients, SMB, and other platform-sensitive technologies.
