Hi zgitrdun8705,
For now, SyncToy does not have build-in support on symlinks.
SyncToy 2.0/2.1 can work with symlinks in some scenarios because some Windows symlink implementations have certain level of compatibility with Windows IO APIs. I have tried the following symlink scenarios so far:
1. Symbolic/Junction folders: SyncToy 2.1 can work if a symbolic/junction folder itself is a sync folder, but it CANNOT work if a symbolic/junction folder is a SUB-folder of a sync folder.
2. Symbolic files (NTFS Junction does not support a single file): SyncToy 2.1 can sync a symbolic file which is currently created before the incoming sync session, BUT it cannot sync any subsequence update of a synced symbolic file.
(Sorry for the inconvenience. There were user suggestions on further supporting NTFS junction folders. We have let our developers know that suggestion. And you are always welcome when you have any requirements or ideas. )
Thanks
