Summary
The documentation is heavily biased towards Windows environments. All instructions reference Windows-only tools (Task Scheduler, Event Viewer), PowerShell cmdlets/scripts, and file paths. There are no examples or guidance for Linux or macOS users, nor any mention of cross-platform alternatives. The documentation assumes the use of Windows Server for Azure File Sync, making it difficult or impossible for Linux/macOS users to follow the procedures.
Recommendations
  • Clearly state platform requirements and limitations at the beginning of the documentation.
  • If Azure File Sync is Windows-only, explicitly mention this and provide links to alternative solutions for Linux/macOS users.
  • Where possible, offer parity by including CLI or REST API alternatives for steps currently requiring Windows GUI tools or PowerShell.
  • Add a section addressing Linux/macOS scenarios, even if only to clarify that Azure File Sync does not support these platforms.
  • If any steps can be performed via Azure Portal, Azure CLI, or REST API, provide those instructions alongside Windows-specific ones.
