Summary:
The documentation is heavily oriented toward Windows environments, referencing Windows Server, NTFS, File Server Resource Manager (FSRM), and Windows-specific tools like Robocopy. There are no examples or guidance for Linux or cross-platform scenarios, and all technical explanations assume a Windows file system and management context.
Recommendations:
- Clearly state early in the article that Azure File Sync is a Windows-only solution, if that is the case. If not, add explicit guidance for Linux or cross-platform users.
- If any Linux support exists (e.g., via SMB or other means), provide equivalent instructions, examples, and caveats for Linux file systems and tools.
- Where Windows-specific tools or concepts are mentioned (e.g., NTFS, FSRM, Robocopy), note their Linux equivalents or clarify that these instructions do not apply to Linux.
- Add a section or callout that addresses the lack of Linux support, and direct users to alternative solutions if they are on non-Windows platforms.
- Ensure that any tables or technical details about file systems or cluster sizes mention whether they are relevant only to NTFS/Windows or if there are parallels in Linux environments.
