Summary
The documentation page exhibits a notable Windows bias. Windows instructions and tooling (such as Robocopy and File Explorer) are presented first and in much greater detail, including step-by-step walkthroughs, screenshots, and command output. Linux instructions are minimal, with only a basic mount command provided and no equivalent file copy tool recommendations or examples. The primary file copy workflow is centered around Robocopy, a Windows-only tool, with no mention of Linux alternatives like rsync or cp in the main tutorial section. This creates friction for Linux/macOS users, who must infer or research their own workflows.
Recommendations
- Provide Linux/macOS examples for mounting SMB shares using smbclient or mount.cifs, not just NFS.
- Include detailed Linux file copy instructions using standard tools (e.g., rsync, cp) with sample commands and output.
- Add parity in screenshots and step-by-step guides for Linux workflows, similar to the Windows section.
- Mention and explain Linux/macOS compatible SMB copy tools (e.g., smbclient, rsync over SMB, mount.cifs).
- Present Windows and Linux/macOS instructions side-by-side or in parallel sections, rather than Windows-first.
- Clarify which steps/tools are cross-platform and which are OS-specific.
