Summary
The documentation provides step-by-step instructions for using the Azure Portal, Azure CLI, and PowerShell to accept and receive data via Azure Data Share. While Azure CLI is cross-platform and examples are provided, PowerShell examples are given equal prominence and detail, including local file paths and Windows-centric usage patterns (e.g., referencing 'D:\testFiles'). There are no explicit Linux/macOS shell examples (e.g., Bash scripts for file upload), and PowerShell-specific instructions (including local execution) may confuse Linux/macOS users. The ordering of examples sometimes places PowerShell before CLI, and file path examples are Windows-centric.
Recommendations
  • Add explicit Bash/shell examples for file upload and storage operations, especially for steps currently showing only PowerShell with Windows file paths.
  • Clarify that PowerShell commands can be run in Azure Cloud Shell (which is cross-platform), but provide alternative Bash/CLI instructions for local execution on Linux/macOS.
  • Avoid using Windows-specific file paths (e.g., 'D:\testFiles') in generic examples; use platform-neutral or Azure Cloud Shell paths.
  • Ensure CLI examples are shown first or equally, and highlight their cross-platform compatibility.
  • Add notes or links for Linux/macOS users on how to perform equivalent tasks (e.g., uploading files to Azure Storage using az CLI or azcopy).
