Summary:
The documentation exclusively provides instructions and examples for installing the Azure File Sync agent on Windows, using Windows-specific tools (msiexec), Windows file paths, and Windows environment variables. There are no references to Linux, Linux tools, or cross-platform installation methods, indicating a strong Windows bias.
Recommendations:
- Explicitly state if Azure File Sync agent is only supported on Windows. If so, clarify this early in the documentation to set user expectations.
- If Linux support is planned or available, provide equivalent Linux installation instructions, including command-line examples (e.g., using dpkg, rpm, or shell scripts).
- Include Linux file path examples and environment variable formats where relevant.
- If the agent is Windows-only, consider linking to alternative Azure file synchronization solutions for Linux environments.
