Summary
The documentation is heavily biased towards Windows environments. All configuration steps, examples, and tooling references are specific to Windows Server, PowerShell, and Windows networking tools (e.g., netsh, machine.config for .NET, WinHTTP). There are no instructions, examples, or notes for Linux or macOS systems, nor any mention of cross-platform support or alternatives.
Recommendations
- Clearly state in the introduction that Azure File Sync is only supported on Windows Server, if that is the case. If Linux/macOS support is planned or available, add equivalent instructions.
- If any components (such as proxy/firewall configuration or network testing) can be performed from Linux/macOS, provide corresponding examples using bash, curl, iptables, or other relevant tools.
- Add a section clarifying platform requirements and limitations, so non-Windows users know whether they can proceed.
- Where PowerShell or Windows-specific tools are used, mention alternatives or workarounds for other platforms, if applicable.
- If the agent or service is Windows-only, make this explicit early in the documentation to avoid confusion.
