Summary
The documentation is heavily biased toward Windows environments. All instructions, examples, and tooling references are exclusively for Windows Server, with no mention of Linux or cross-platform support. PowerShell is the only scripting interface shown, and all file paths, configuration steps, and screenshots are Windows-specific. There is no guidance for Linux servers, nor any indication that Azure File Sync can be used outside of Windows.
Recommendations
- Clearly state in the introduction whether Azure File Sync supports only Windows Server or if there is any Linux support. If Linux is not supported, make this explicit to set user expectations.
- If Linux support exists or is planned, add equivalent Linux instructions, including command-line examples (e.g., Bash, Azure CLI), package installation steps, and configuration file locations.
- Where PowerShell is used, provide Azure CLI or REST API equivalents for cross-platform automation.
- If certain features (e.g., agent installation, server registration) are Windows-only, explicitly note this and provide alternative Azure file integration solutions for Linux users.
- Avoid Windows-centric terminology and screenshots unless the feature is strictly Windows-only; otherwise, include Linux or generic alternatives.
- For proxy configuration and network limits, describe how to achieve similar results on Linux systems, if applicable.
