And by supporting I mean uploading and syncing them as symlinks rather than resolving them and uploading them as a duplicate of the original file/folder. Dropbox and the likes) is able to sync relative symbolic links among the synced folders correctly. Then, try removing the symlink itself, then the target folder. 9 I wonder if any of the mainstream sync services (e.g. maybe its shell extensions are interfering with Opus, but it seems unlikely that would cause the folder to not show up at all or for a valid path to not work in Opus when it works in a Command Prompt. 101 2 If Dropbox is completed removed (no longer running), try to recreate the folder that's the target of that symlink. The involvement with Dropbox could indicate the Dropbox software is involved in some way, e.g. Smart Copies are created in the same way as Junctions, select a folder, click the Action button, choose Pick Link Source from the action menu.navigate to the destination folder, press the action button, open the Drop As. Using a tool like Process Monitor to see what's being requested (relevant to the paths in question) and the results which are coming back may be the only way to debug it. Now admittedly Dropbox does have Selective Sync the option to exclude some of your Dropbox folders on a given machine but this still didn’t really solve my problem. But there's a way around this limitation: symbolic links. They can only synchronize folders inside your cloud storage folder. the process of adding folders to Dropbox and creating symbolic links. Windows Linux Mac OS X Synchronize External Folders The big cloud storage services - Dropbox, Google Drive, Microsoft OneDrive, and others - all have the same problem. Opus just asks for a directory listing and displays the results (subject to filters). Symlink Creator simplifies the process of creating symbolic and hard links in. Symlinks on your system can still link into the Dropbox folder. Assuming Opus is running under the same account/credentials and accessing the same drive, I cannot think of any reason why a Command Prompt would be able to see and access the same folder that Opus can't.Įverything on the Windows side will just see that folder as a normal folder (XP doesn't support symbolic links, and I doubt Samba would map a symlink on the Linux side through to its equivalent NTFS symlink on the network drive even on a newer version of Windows). Dropbox no longer allows you to create symlinks that link outside the Dropbox folder.
