sync does not work if the target folder is a link (to another disk)

[ferdiga]

Actual behaviour

-Tell us what happens
sync - Action ignored

Expected behaviour

-Tell us what should happen
sync - action download

Steps to reproduce

1. move the "photos" directory defined to a different disk
2. create a link to where the director was before

I just tried this on my machine (Linux) and it worked. Could you please check the logs? Does it say anything?
Any idea @rullzer?

I think it's a client side problem,
neither get files synced to the client nor from the client to the server for THIS folder
activity says "ignored" for files to be downloaded and nothing for files to be uploaded.

Could this be related to Nextcloud not syncing (symbolic) links? When I add a link in my Nextcloud-directory the client doesn't sync the link with this message: "Symbolic links are not supported in syncing". There's some discussion on the topic in this thread: https://help.nextcloud.com/t/symbolic-link-support/220/27

@ferdiga My bad, I think I committed a mistake before. It doesn't work.
@EorlBruder you are right.

I will keep the issue #250 and will close this one.
