Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a strong Windows bias. All examples, terminology, and supported scenarios are centered around Windows Server and NTFS. Only Windows-specific tools (such as File Server Resource Manager and Robocopy) are mentioned. There is no mention of Linux, Linux file systems, or cross-platform considerations, and all technical explanations assume a Windows environment.
Recommendations
- Explicitly state that Azure File Sync cloud tiering is only supported on Windows Server and NTFS, if that is the case. If Linux support is planned or available, provide equivalent guidance for Linux environments.
- If Linux is not supported, add a clear note at the top of the documentation indicating the platform limitation to avoid confusion for non-Windows users.
- If Linux or other platforms are supported, include examples and explanations for those platforms, such as supported file systems (e.g., ext4, XFS), equivalent quota management tools, and migration utilities.
- When referencing tools like Robocopy and FSRM, offer Linux equivalents (e.g., rsync, setquota) or clarify that these are Windows-only tools.
- Use more neutral language where possible, and avoid assuming the reader is only using Windows Server.
