Summary
The documentation exhibits Windows bias by focusing exclusively on SMB protocol (primarily associated with Windows environments), referencing Windows-style paths (\\<ServerName>\<ShareName>), and providing instructions that assume Windows conventions (such as right-clicking folders, using the Security tab, and specifying usernames in Windows domain format). There are no Linux/macOS-specific instructions, examples, or troubleshooting steps. Additionally, a note explicitly states that non-Windows NAS devices are not officially supported, further reinforcing the Windows-centric approach.
Recommendations
- Provide explicit instructions and examples for Linux/macOS environments, including how to connect to SMB shares from Linux and how to format paths and credentials.
- Clarify the level of support for non-Windows NAS devices and offer troubleshooting guidance for Linux users.
- Include Linux/macOS equivalents for file permissions and security settings (e.g., using chmod, setfacl, etc.), and mention relevant tools (such as smbclient, mount.cifs).
- Avoid language or instructions that assume a Windows GUI (e.g., right-clicking folders), or provide alternative CLI-based steps for Linux/macOS.
- List supported operating systems with parity and provide links to Linux/macOS documentation where available.
