For instance: In a FTP server it's possible to share folders using symbolic links o9n the server side. Dropbox has this issue available by default (nothing to do with Syncany as long as I know). S3 too. And so on... I see this issue a matter of storage service provider, not of Syncany itself. =) Am I wrong?
