Summary
The documentation is heavily biased toward Windows environments, specifically Windows Server. All deployment, management, and troubleshooting instructions are exclusively for Windows Server, with no mention of Linux or macOS for Azure File Sync scenarios. All command-line examples use PowerShell, and only Windows tools and patterns are referenced. Linux and macOS are only mentioned as SMB clients for direct mounting, not as supported platforms for Azure File Sync itself.
Recommendations
- Clearly state at the beginning that Azure File Sync is only supported on Windows Server, and that Linux/macOS are not supported for the sync agent.
- Provide alternative guidance or links for Linux/macOS users who want to interact with Azure Files (e.g., mounting via SMB/NFS, rsync-based solutions, or third-party sync tools).
- In sections discussing direct mounting, include Linux/macOS mounting examples and reference relevant documentation.
- Where PowerShell or Windows-specific tools are used, clarify that these are only applicable to Windows Server scenarios.
- Consider a comparison table or FAQ highlighting feature parity and limitations across Windows, Linux, and macOS for Azure Files and Azure File Sync.
