Summary
The documentation is heavily biased towards Windows environments. All examples use Windows-specific tools (PowerShell, reg.exe, fsutil, Windows Explorer), and all instructions reference Windows registry paths and services. There are no Linux or cross-platform examples, and the documentation assumes the use of Windows Server throughout. Linux equivalents or guidance are entirely absent.
Recommendations
- Clearly state at the beginning if Azure File Sync is Windows-only, or clarify platform support.
- If Linux support exists or is planned, provide equivalent instructions and examples for Linux environments (e.g., using Linux file attribute commands, systemd/service management, and configuration file locations).
- Where possible, use cross-platform Azure CLI or REST API examples for management tasks.
- If features are Windows-exclusive, explicitly mention this in each relevant section to set user expectations.
- Consider providing a comparison table of feature availability and management steps for Windows vs. Linux, if partial support exists.
