SMB Share ignoring Symbolic link

[LeandroSQ]

Hi there,

I've setup a symbolic link on my SMB share folder, pointing to the user's nextcloud directory.
When I log-in by SSH on my user, I can access it and browse its contents
But when accessing it on Windows Explorer, It simply doesn't show up

That's because a Unix symlink isn't the same as a Windows shortcut. To do what you're trying to do, you'll need to enable DFS and also enable sharing of the link target's directory. See https://www.truenas.com/community/t...storage-on-single-interface.96784/post-668427.

More specifically symlinks are not displayed if they are to paths outside of the share's path. This is a security feature.
