Abstract

In some embodiments, a synchronization system can synchronize symbolic links across multiple devices. For example, a content management system can receive, from a client device, one or more synchronization operations for synchronizing content items between the content management system and the client device. The content items can be content items associated with a user account registered at the content management system. The content management system can determine that the one or more synchronization operations include an operation for adding a content item to the user account, and that the content item is a symbolic link that includes a path to a target content item. The content management system can then synchronize the content item as a symbolic link.
