Why do I have a folder named “Shared Symlink Backups”?Īny items that were synced to your Dropbox account via a symlink that was within a shared folder and that linked outside of a shared Dropbox folder prior to mid-2019 can be found in a new folder named Shared Symlink Backups.

If you still want to sync the original item, we recommend adding that item to your Dropbox account instead of the symlink.īy default, this folder will be unchecked in your selective sync preferences. Any changes made to items in the original location the symlink referenced will no longer sync to your Dropbox account. Why does my folder say “Symlink Backup Copy”?Īny items that were synced to your Dropbox account via a symlink that linked outside of your Dropbox folder prior to mid-2019 can be found in a copy of the folder appended with ( Symlink Backup Copy). However, they aren’t recommended for referencing Dropbox from a different location on your computer, or referencing a different location on your computer from Dropbox.
