Summary:
The documentation demonstrates a Windows-centric bias. Many examples and troubleshooting steps reference Windows tools (PowerShell, File Explorer, cmdkey, net use, icacls) without providing Linux/macOS equivalents. Windows terminology and workflows are described in detail, while Linux is only mentioned in passing or in NFS-specific sections. There are no Linux command examples for common tasks such as mounting, credential management, or ACL handling. The documentation assumes Windows as the default environment for Azure File Sync and related features.
Recommendations:
- Provide equivalent Linux/macOS command-line examples (e.g., mount.cifs, smbclient, setfacl, getfacl) alongside Windows/PowerShell instructions for mounting, credential management, and ACL operations.
- When referencing tools like PowerShell, File Explorer, or Windows commands, also mention and demonstrate how to perform the same tasks on Linux and macOS.
- Avoid assuming Windows as the default platform in explanations; explicitly address cross-platform scenarios where possible.
- Include troubleshooting steps and best practices for Linux and macOS clients, especially for authentication, file locking, and metadata preservation.
- Expand the 'Security, authentication, and access control' section to cover Linux-specific auditing and access control mechanisms.
- Ensure that all protocol-agnostic features (e.g., snapshots, billing, redundancy) are described in a platform-neutral way, with examples for all supported OSes.
