@kborovik Thanks for reaching out. I just tested it, it works fine if I follow the steps as-is.

Did you complete the steps prior to this one? Specifically:

Install-Module -Name PackageManagement -Repository PSGallery -Force
Install-Module -Name PowerShellGet -Repository PSGallery -Force

Then restart shell

Then enter Install-Module -Name Az.StorageSync -AllowPrerelease -AllowClobber -Force

@YASWANTHM-MSFT FYI
