Summary
The documentation is heavily focused on Windows Server environments, with examples and instructions tailored exclusively for Windows users. PowerShell is the only automation tool referenced for configuration tasks, and Windows-specific terminology and patterns are used throughout. There are no Linux or macOS examples, nor any mention of how non-Windows systems might interact with Azure File Sync or related networking configurations.
Recommendations
- Add explicit statements clarifying Azure File Sync is only supported on Windows, and provide guidance for Linux/macOS users seeking similar solutions.
- Where PowerShell is used for configuration (e.g., proxy settings, DNS), offer equivalent instructions using cross-platform tools (such as Azure CLI or REST API), or clarify if these steps are Windows-only.
- Include Linux/macOS examples for DNS resolution (e.g., show 'nslookup' or 'dig' commands alongside PowerShell examples).
- If Azure File Sync is not supported on Linux/macOS, provide links to alternative Azure file synchronization solutions for those platforms.
- Reorder examples and instructions so that platform-agnostic or cross-platform tools (like Azure CLI, REST API) are mentioned before or alongside Windows/PowerShell tools.
