Summary
The documentation is generally cross-platform and avoids Windows-centric bias in most sections. However, the SMB encryption section exclusively references Windows versions and tools (Windows Server, Windows 8/10), and mentions SMB 3.0 encryption only in the context of Windows clients. This may create friction for Linux/macOS users who use SMB/CIFS to access Azure Files. Additionally, Windows tools are mentioned before any Linux equivalents, and no Linux/macOS SMB encryption guidance is provided.
Recommendations
- Add information about SMB encryption support for Linux and macOS clients, including references to relevant tools (e.g., smbclient, mount.cifs) and configuration steps.
- Clarify whether SMB encryption is available and supported for non-Windows clients accessing Azure Files, and link to official documentation for those platforms.
- When mentioning protocols or tools (like SMB), present cross-platform options or note platform-specific limitations.
- Consider including examples or references for Linux/macOS users in sections where Windows tools are mentioned.
