Summary
The documentation is heavily biased toward Windows environments. All examples use Robocopy, a Windows-only tool, and instructions reference Windows-specific services and concepts (e.g., Storage Sync Agent Service, drive letters). There are no Linux or macOS equivalents, nor any mention of how to perform these tasks on non-Windows platforms. The steps and tooling assume the administrator is using Windows Server, with no guidance for Linux-based Azure File Sync scenarios.
Recommendations
- Add equivalent instructions and examples for Linux environments, including recommended tools (e.g., rsync, cp, smbclient) for data transfer.
- Clarify whether Azure File Sync supports Linux servers, and if so, provide parity in documentation for Linux/macOS users.
- If Azure File Sync is Windows-only, explicitly state this limitation at the beginning of the article.
- Where possible, use cross-platform terminology and avoid Windows-specific concepts (e.g., drive letters, Windows services) or provide Linux/macOS alternatives.
- Include notes on how to manage SMB shares and sync services on Linux.
