Summary
The documentation for migrating files between Azure file shares using Azure File Sync is heavily Windows-centric. All examples and instructions assume the use of Windows Server, Windows VMs, PowerShell cmdlets, and Windows-only tools like Robocopy. There are no Linux/macOS equivalents or alternative instructions provided, and Windows terminology and tooling are presented exclusively and first throughout the page.
Recommendations
- Clearly state early in the documentation that Azure File Sync is a Windows-only feature, if applicable, to set expectations for non-Windows users.
- If any part of the migration process (such as copying files between shares in Azure) can be performed from Linux/macOS (e.g., using azcopy, Azure CLI, or SMB mounting), provide parallel instructions and examples.
- Mention cross-platform tools (like azcopy) where appropriate, especially for file copy operations that do not require Windows-specific features.
- Where PowerShell or Robocopy are referenced, note their platform limitations and suggest alternatives if available.
- Add a section clarifying platform requirements and limitations for Azure File Sync and related migration scenarios.
