Summary
The documentation provides AzCopy usage examples exclusively with Windows-style paths (e.g., 'C:\myDirectory\myTextFile.txt') and does not include any Linux/macOS path examples (e.g., '/home/user/myTextFile.txt'). All destination paths are shown in Windows format, and there are no explicit Linux/macOS command examples. Although there are tips about quoting differences between shells, the examples themselves are Windows-centric.
Recommendations
  • Add parallel examples using Linux/macOS path formats (e.g., '/home/user/myTextFile.txt') for each AzCopy command.
  • Include a note or table summarizing path differences and quoting requirements for Windows, Linux, and macOS shells.
  • Alternate the order of examples so that Linux/macOS examples are shown first or side-by-side with Windows examples.
  • Clarify that AzCopy is fully cross-platform and provide explicit instructions for Linux/macOS users where relevant.
