Summary:
The documentation implicitly assumes a Windows environment throughout. There are no Linux-specific examples or guidance, and the only OS-specific reference is to the Windows D: drive. The instructions and terminology (e.g., 'server endpoint path', 'D drive', 'Registered servers' tab) are Windows-centric, with no mention of Linux equivalents or cross-platform considerations. This creates a bias toward Windows users and leaves Linux administrators without clear guidance.
Recommendations:
- Add explicit guidance for Linux-based Azure File Sync agents, if supported, including examples of typical Linux file system paths and considerations.
- Where drive letters or Windows-specific terminology is used (e.g., 'D: drive'), provide Linux equivalents (e.g., '/mnt/data') or clarify if the feature is Windows-only.
- Include screenshots or navigation steps for both Windows and Linux environments where applicable.
- State clearly at the beginning of the documentation which platforms are supported, and if Linux is not supported, make this explicit to avoid confusion.
- If Azure File Sync is Windows-only, add a note to clarify this and suggest alternative solutions for Linux users.
