Summary
The documentation provides both Windows (SMB) and Linux (NFS) examples for all major operations with AzCopy, using tabbed sections to separate them. However, Windows-style paths (e.g., C:\myDirectory) and Windows Command Shell instructions are consistently presented first in each example and tip, with Linux paths following. There are frequent notes about quoting conventions for Windows Command Shell, which are always mentioned before Linux/macOS shell conventions. No Linux-specific tools or patterns are missing, and parity is maintained for all commands, but the ordering and emphasis favor Windows.
Recommendations
  • Alternate the order of examples so that Linux/NFS examples are shown first in some sections.
  • Add explicit macOS examples or notes where relevant, especially for quoting and path conventions.
  • Provide a summary table at the top showing platform support for each scenario.
  • Reduce repetition of Windows-first quoting instructions; consider a single cross-platform note.
  • Use more neutral language in tips and notes, e.g., 'If you are using Windows Command Shell (cmd.exe)...' after describing the default for Linux/macOS.
