I get that now. But it’s trying to sync a folder, so why not just point to the folder it’s syncing?

- JadeNB 6y agoBecause, like every other sync solution out there, though for what reason I don't know, it fears the consequences if you are allowed to name the sync folder yourself.
- Reelin 6y agoNot perfectly analogous to specifying folder names yourself, but the infamous Steam deletion bug comes to mind. (https://github.com/valvesoftware/steam-for-linux/issues/3671 https://github.com/valvesoftware/steam-for-linux/issues/3671) Caused by a failure to use readlink (plus not sanity checking variable contents), so introducing a symlink would break it.
