Summary:
The documentation page, while stating that Azure Storage Explorer is cross-platform, demonstrates a Windows bias in several ways. It directs users to obtain the storage account name by following a workflow that explicitly references PowerShell and the 'Upload a VHD using PowerShell' link, with screenshots and instructions focused on the Windows Azure portal experience. There are no Linux- or macOS-specific examples, nor are alternative CLI-based workflows (such as using Azure CLI or azcopy) mentioned. The related content section also prioritizes PowerShell-based guidance.
Recommendations:
- Provide explicit instructions or examples for Linux and macOS users, including screenshots where appropriate.
- Include alternative workflows using Azure CLI or azcopy for users who may not use PowerShell or the Azure portal.
- Avoid referencing PowerShell as the primary or only method for obtaining required information (such as the storage account name); instead, describe a platform-neutral method or provide parallel instructions for different OSes.
- Balance related content links by including Linux/macOS/CLI-based documentation alongside PowerShell resources.
