Summary
The documentation is heavily biased toward Windows environments. All migration steps require a Windows Server instance, and all examples use Windows-native tools (Robocopy, Event Viewer). There are no Linux or macOS equivalents, nor any mention of how users on those platforms could participate in the migration process. The workflow assumes Windows as the only viable platform for Azure File Sync, and troubleshooting steps are Windows-specific.
Recommendations
- Explicitly state Azure File Sync is Windows-only and provide alternative migration paths for Linux/macOS users.
- Offer guidance for Linux NAS administrators, such as using rsync or other cross-platform tools for initial data transfer.
- Include documentation or links for migrating NFS shares or integrating with Linux-based file servers, even if only for the Data Box ingestion phase.
- Provide parity in troubleshooting steps for non-Windows environments, or clarify limitations.
- List third-party or Azure-native alternatives for hybrid cloud file sync for Linux/macOS.
