Placing shortcut in ubuntu one folder backs up subdirectories but not any files.

[weston]

I would like to include my documents folder in the Ubuntu One folder with out changing the location of the documents folder. I used a link to do this, but only the subdirectories are backed up and not the actual files.

This functionality is present in dropbox.

Thanks for looking into this.

Hi Weston, Currently we don't support synchronizing symlinks (shortcuts). We do have this on our roadmap. I'm going to mark this as a duplicate of an earlier request so that it gets tracked properly. Thank you, Joshua
