Summary:
The documentation for Azure File Sync demonstrates a strong Windows bias. All examples, scenarios, and deployment instructions exclusively reference Windows Server, with no mention of Linux or cross-platform alternatives. The language assumes the use of Windows Server for local caching, management, and recovery, and only Windows-specific tools and protocols are discussed in detail.
Recommendations:
- Explicitly state whether Azure File Sync supports only Windows Server, or clarify any Linux or cross-platform limitations.
- If Linux support exists or is planned, provide equivalent Linux examples and instructions for deployment, management, and recovery.
- Mention Linux-compatible protocols (such as NFS) in parity with SMB, and clarify how non-Windows clients can interact with Azure File Sync.
- If only Windows Server is supported, add a note early in the documentation to set expectations for non-Windows users.
- Consider including a comparison table outlining feature availability and limitations for Windows vs. Linux environments.
