Summary:
The documentation page exhibits a Windows bias by referencing Windows-specific tools (e.g., Robocopy) for data transfer, omitting Linux equivalents or cross-platform alternatives. The mention of Robocopy as the example tool for copying data to Data Box devices is Windows-centric, with no mention of rsync, cp, or other Linux/Unix tools. Additionally, there are no command-line examples or setup instructions for Linux users, and the ordering of tools (e.g., AzCopy, Azure PowerShell) tends to prioritize Windows-native or Windows-friendly options.
Recommendations:
- When mentioning Robocopy for Data Box transfers, also mention Linux/Unix equivalents such as rsync or cp, and provide example commands.
- Explicitly state that AzCopy, Azure CLI, and REST APIs are cross-platform, and provide example usage for both Windows and Linux environments.
- Avoid listing Windows tools or patterns first unless they are the only supported option; otherwise, present cross-platform tools first or in parallel.
- Include a section or table row for Linux/macOS compatibility and recommended tools for each transfer method.
- Where PowerShell is mentioned, also mention Bash or shell scripting alternatives for Linux users.
