The link will work your structure but not on your friends. Relative Symbolic link inside SharedDirectory: link ->. Your friend structure: Dropbox/SharedDirectory/ On the matter of relative symbolic links, I guess Dropbox can't sync as it is because your dropbox directory structure may be different from your colleagues.įor example: Your structure: Dropbox/Projects/ This way the outside files will be copied to the cloud but wont be copied in your computer. Links are great in Dropbox when it points to something outside your dropbox folder. Since the cloud can't point to this same directory structure it will de-reference it and copy your files (on the cloud) all over again. Symbolic link: symlink -> /Users/username/home/Documents/Dropbox/MyFolder/ It looks like the following: Original folder path: /Users/username/home/Documents/Dropbox/MyFolder/ In your computer, the link points to the absolute path to your original file (or folder). Therefore there is no way it will synchronize the symbolic link as it is. In the cloud the directory structure is not the same as in your computer.
