Summary
The documentation is heavily Windows-centric, assuming the use of Windows Server throughout. All steps reference Windows Server only, with no mention of Linux or macOS alternatives. The only file copy tool suggested is Robocopy, a Windows-specific utility, and user cut-over options reference Windows features like DFS-N. No Linux-compatible instructions, tools, or examples are provided.
Recommendations
- Clarify early that Azure File Sync is only supported on Windows Server, if that is the case. If Linux/macOS support is possible or planned, add equivalent instructions for those platforms.
- Where file copy operations are described, suggest cross-platform tools (e.g., rsync for Linux/macOS) or note alternatives for non-Windows environments.
- When mentioning features like DFS-N, explain if there are similar solutions for Linux/macOS, or explicitly state that these are Windows-only features.
- If the product is Windows-only, make this limitation clear at the top of the documentation to set expectations for non-Windows users.
