Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a notable Windows bias. Windows tools (e.g., Robocopy, net use) are featured prominently and exclusively in step-by-step examples, with detailed command-line and File Explorer instructions. Linux instructions are minimal, limited to a single mount example, with no Linux-native file copy tool (e.g., rsync, cp, smbclient) usage shown. Robocopy is presented as the primary and only detailed copy tool, with no Linux equivalents or performance guidance for Linux users.
Recommendations
- Provide Linux/macOS equivalents for all Windows command-line examples, including mounting SMB shares and copying data (e.g., using rsync, cp, or smbclient).
- Include sample commands and output for Linux tools, similar to the Robocopy examples for Windows.
- Offer performance tuning guidance for Linux copy tools (e.g., rsync options, parallelization strategies) as is done for Robocopy.
- Mention Linux/macOS tools and workflows alongside Windows tools, not only after or as an afterthought.
- Consider a parity table or side-by-side examples for Windows and Linux/macOS users.
