Summary
The documentation page for Azure Files and Azure File Sync exhibits a Windows-centric bias. Many examples and troubleshooting steps reference Windows-specific tools (PowerShell, File Explorer, icacls, cmdkey, net use), and several workflows are described only for Windows environments. Linux and macOS are mentioned as supported platforms, but practical examples, command-line instructions, or troubleshooting steps for these platforms are largely absent. The documentation assumes familiarity with Windows patterns and tools, and Linux equivalents are not provided or are relegated to NFS-specific sections.
Recommendations
- For every PowerShell or Windows command (e.g., Get-ChildItem, icacls, cmdkey, net use), provide equivalent Linux/macOS commands (e.g., ls, getfacl/setfacl, mount.cifs, smbclient, etc.).
- When describing troubleshooting or configuration steps, include Linux and macOS workflows alongside Windows instructions.
- In sections discussing tools (e.g., file copy tools, auditing, credential management), explicitly mention and give examples for Linux tools (e.g., rsync, smbclient, mount, journalctl for logs).
- Avoid assuming File Explorer or Windows Server as the default management interface; mention alternatives such as Nautilus, Finder, or command-line tools for Linux/macOS.
- Where Windows-specific behaviors are discussed (e.g., offline attribute, thumbnail cache), clarify the equivalent or differing behavior on Linux/macOS.
- Add a parity table or quick-reference guide showing how common tasks are performed on Windows, Linux, and macOS.
- Review all example code blocks and ensure at least one Linux/macOS example is present for each Windows example.
