Summary
The documentation assumes the use of Windows Server exclusively, with all steps, tools, and examples (such as Robocopy and DFS-N) being Windows-specific. There are no Linux equivalents or cross-platform guidance, and the documentation does not acknowledge the possibility of non-Windows environments.
Recommendations
- Clarify early in the documentation whether Azure File Sync supports only Windows Server, or provide guidance for Linux or cross-platform scenarios if available.
- If Linux support is possible, include equivalent Linux commands and tools (e.g., rsync instead of Robocopy) for file copying.
- Mention Linux-compatible alternatives to DFS-N for namespace redirection, or explicitly state if such functionality is unavailable.
- Structure instructions to acknowledge both Windows and Linux environments, or explain the Windows-only limitation up front.
