Summary:
The documentation is heavily biased towards Windows users. It explicitly states that AzCopy is a Windows-only utility, provides only Windows Command Prompt and PowerShell instructions, references Windows file paths, and omits any mention of Linux or cross-platform alternatives. There are no Linux or macOS examples or instructions, and the automation section continues to assume a Windows environment.
Recommendations:
- Update the documentation to clarify that modern versions of AzCopy (v10 and later) are cross-platform and provide download links for Windows, Linux, and macOS.
- Include Linux and macOS installation instructions and example commands (e.g., using bash or sh).
- Avoid referencing only Windows-specific paths (like ProgramFiles(x86)); instead, provide generic or OS-specific installation paths.
- Add PowerShell and bash (or shell) command examples side-by-side where relevant.
- Remove or update the note stating AzCopy is Windows-only, as this is inaccurate for current versions.
- Mention and link to cross-platform automation options (such as Azure CLI or REST API) where appropriate.
