Summary
The documentation is heavily Windows-centric, with all examples, instructions, and tooling focused exclusively on Windows Server environments. PowerShell is used for all command-line examples, and Windows-specific configuration files and tools (e.g., netsh, machine.config) are referenced throughout. There are no Linux or macOS instructions, nor any mention of how (or if) Azure File Sync can be configured or used on non-Windows platforms.
Recommendations
- Clarify platform support: Explicitly state whether Azure File Sync is Windows-only or if Linux/macOS are supported. If not supported, make this clear early in the documentation.
- If Linux/macOS support exists or is planned, provide equivalent examples for proxy/firewall configuration using common Linux tools (e.g., iptables, ufw, curl, wget, environment variables for proxy settings).
- Reference Linux equivalents for .NET proxy configuration if the agent runs on .NET Core on Linux.
- Include troubleshooting steps and connectivity tests for Linux/macOS environments, using bash scripts or native tools.
- If only Windows is supported, add a prominent note to prevent confusion for non-Windows users.
