I have Syncdocs configured to sync the entirety of my Windows 10 "Documents" folder (except for a few folders I have un-checked in Selective Folder Sync).
I have the FollowReparsePoints setting set to "true" in appsettings.xml, and Syncdocs has happily been syncing the couple of junction points I have in my Documents folder (for Pictures and Videos) without issue.
Today I decided I wanted to sync a network drive folder in much the same way. So I used mklink to create a directory symbolic link:
mklink /d "c:\users\myusername\documents\my_net_dir""x:\this\that\whatever\subdir"
That seemed to work pretty well, and did everything I expected it to do.
BUT... when I moved the symbolic link to a subfolder of my Documents folder, it stopped. The data never appeared on Google. Moving it back to the root of the Documents folder made it all start working again.
I recall reading something in a really old (circa 2011) forum post that Syncdocs only followed reparse points at the root to avoid loops. But I'm pretty sure that same post also said (or at least implied) that there was going to be an advanced setting to allow these. Did that ever get put in? I don't see anything obvious paging through appsettings.xml.
Is there a way to sync a directory symbolic link that resides in a subfolder of the Syncdocs root?
Thanks,
