Summary:
The documentation is heavily biased toward Windows environments. All examples and instructions assume the use of Windows Server, Windows command line, and Windows-native tools such as Robocopy. There are no Linux equivalents, nor is there any mention of performing these steps on a Linux server or using cross-platform tools. The documentation presumes the reader is operating in a Windows-only ecosystem.
Recommendations:
- Add explicit statements about Azure File Sync's compatibility (or lack thereof) with Linux servers. If unsupported, clarify this early in the documentation.
- If Linux is supported, provide parallel instructions for Linux environments, including equivalent commands (e.g., using rsync or cp for file copying) and service management.
- Mention cross-platform tools where possible, or at least acknowledge alternatives for non-Windows environments.
- Avoid assuming the use of Windows-only utilities (like Robocopy) without offering alternatives or explanations for users on other platforms.
- If only Windows is supported, clearly state this at the beginning to set user expectations.
