Summary
The documentation is heavily Windows-centric. All examples use Windows-only tools (Robocopy), reference Windows services (Storage Sync Agent Service), and assume the use of Windows Server. There are no Linux equivalents or instructions, and no mention of how to perform these tasks on Linux systems or with cross-platform tools.
Recommendations
- Add equivalent instructions for Linux servers, including supported distributions and any prerequisites.
- Provide examples using cross-platform tools (e.g., rsync for file copying) alongside Robocopy.
- Clarify whether Azure File Sync is supported on Linux, and if not, explicitly state this early in the documentation.
- If only Windows is supported, add a prominent note to avoid confusion for Linux administrators.
- Where possible, use neutral terminology (e.g., 'copy files using your platform's preferred tool') and provide both Windows and Linux command examples.
- Document how to manage SMB access and sync agent services on Linux, if supported.
