Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a notable Windows bias. Windows instructions and tooling (e.g., Robocopy, net use, File Explorer) are presented first and in much greater detail, including screenshots, command output, and parameter explanations. Linux instructions are minimal, with only a single mount command given and no examples of file copy tools (such as rsync or cp) or detailed workflow. The recommended copy tool is Robocopy, which is Windows-only, and no Linux alternatives are suggested or explained. This creates friction for Linux/macOS users, who must infer or research their own workflows.
Recommendations
- Provide detailed Linux/macOS instructions, including mounting SMB shares with smbclient or mount.cifs, and copying files with rsync, cp, or similar tools.
- Include Linux/macOS command examples, output samples, and parameter explanations analogous to the Robocopy section.
- List Linux-friendly SMB copy tools (e.g., smbclient, rsync, cp) and explain their usage and performance tuning.
- Present Windows and Linux/macOS instructions in parallel sections, or alternate which platform is shown first.
- Add troubleshooting steps and screenshots for Linux/macOS environments.
- Clarify which steps are platform-agnostic and which require OS-specific commands.
