Summary
The documentation provides both Windows (SMB) and Linux (NFS) examples for all major AzCopy operations, using tabbed sections for parity. However, Windows-style paths (e.g., C:\myDirectory) and Windows Command Shell (cmd.exe) quoting conventions are consistently presented first in notes and examples. Guidance for quoting paths is Windows-centric, with Linux/macOS instructions presented as exceptions. No PowerShell-specific examples or Windows-only tools are present, and Linux/NFS scenarios are clearly called out where relevant. Overall, Linux parity is strong, but Windows paths and conventions are prioritized in presentation.
Recommendations
- Alternate the order of examples so that Linux/NFS examples are sometimes shown first.
- Provide a summary table or section at the top highlighting OS-specific requirements and conventions (quoting, path separators) for all platforms equally.
- Include explicit macOS notes where relevant, as current notes only mention Linux and Windows.
- Consider using generic paths (e.g., /home/user/myDirectory or ~/myDirectory) in introductory syntax examples before showing OS-specific tabs.
- Clarify in notes that Linux/NFS operations are not supported on Windows/macOS, and vice versa, to help users quickly identify platform limitations.
