Dropbox doesn't sync symbolic links anymore
Hi,
until this summer I was able to sync folders outside Dropbox using simbolic links.
I just tried again to sync a folder with this tricky method and it's not working. I tried to create simbolic...
Cancelled my subscription! Dropbox is completely useless without support for symlinks! Used it with macOS, it still syncs hard links because they point to the same Unix inode. But APFS+ dosn't support folder hard links. Just make this option available for real users who need to work! And don't have a 2TB local folder full of cat images, this is absolutely ridiculous! I don't pay 100€ a year anymore for such a bad service. Will give you 0 stars and bad comments on every occasion I can find.
Update:
I switched to Google Drive, it is AWESOME! It makes it extremely smooth, just select the folders you want to sync and done, perfect! No more symlinks needed. It also is very easy to use on multiple PCs and to access data on the other PCs which you can mirror or load on access. Won't look back to Dropbox, and advice everyone with this problem, to switch! 🙂 You will love it.
