Summary:
The documentation for Azure File Sync is heavily biased toward Windows environments. All instructions, requirements, and examples are exclusively for Windows Server, with repeated references to Windows-specific tools (e.g., PowerShell cmdlets, Robocopy, NTFS, FSRM, .NET Framework, Windows Update). There is no mention of Linux support, examples, or equivalent tooling, and the documentation assumes the reader is operating in a Windows ecosystem.
Recommendations:
- Clearly state early in the documentation whether Azure File Sync supports only Windows or if there are any Linux/UNIX options.
- If Linux support is available or planned, provide equivalent instructions, examples, and troubleshooting steps for Linux environments.
- If only Windows is supported, explicitly mention this limitation to set expectations for cross-platform users.
- Where possible, reference cross-platform tools or protocols (e.g., SMB, NFS) and clarify their support or limitations on non-Windows systems.
- Provide a comparison table or section outlining feature parity (or lack thereof) between Windows and Linux for Azure Files and related sync capabilities.
- If PowerShell is required, note whether PowerShell Core (cross-platform) is supported, and provide examples for Linux/macOS if applicable.
