When syncing with any other cloud storage service, MacDropAny moves the folder you are syncing with the cloud to within the cloud storage folder, and then creates a symlink in the folder's original location pointing at the folder's new location This allows your folder to remain in its original location, while still being synced to the cloud. MacDropAny creates this alias within the cloud storage folder, and configures it pointing at the external folder When syncing with Dropbox, Copy, or MediaFire, MacDropAny uses a special type of alias or shortcut called a "symbolic link" or "symlink".
