Hello and thank you for your comment! Sorry about that! I realized junctions involve remote machines and I wasn't able to really test that properly. Maybe I'll go back to it someday. Hope I've been a help nonetheless =)

Very nice, the first of 4 videos I've watched on SymLinks where the host didn't rush through and made everything easy to follow. Thx for taking the time to do this right!

Wow very informative video! I watched some other ones on youtube first but still had some questions and partly confused. After watching yours I was able to understand the concepts a lot better, especially since you gave examples of advantages and drawbacks as well for all 3 types of links! Thanks a lot for being so detailed :)

Great video very informative and nicely explained better than about 6 other ones i have seen. I was also waiting for your junction explanation due to onedrive. that is the only thing missing. Thank you.

Hello and thank you very much for your comment! Since you're using onedrive, I don't believe you will need to use any feature exclusive to junctions, since, on Windows at least, the onedrive folder shows up as a regular folder.

Hello again! That's an interesting use case that I haven't fully understood myself. I've done a few tests and it does seem that even on Windows, for a OneDrive folder, a directory symlink behaves differently from a junction. I'll look into it more and see if I can figure it out!

I use symlinks to replace the folders and files, which have the biggest amount of write operations, from an SSD to an HDD. The goal is to make SSD live longer. For example: DrWeb (logging operations) and Fallout 4 save files (20-50 mb per file).

Hello and thank you for your comment! Good thinking! I have standard shortcuts that go from my desktop (on the boot drive which is an SSD) to my hard disk, but this takes it to the next level!

Did you know that Linux is literaly using symlinks everywhere? It's also not causing problems that users use symlinks much more than the Linux equivalent of an lnk

Hello and thank you for your comment! For sure, ultimately, these are tools, and they're completely fine as long as they're used correctly. That's not to say that the risks or potential gotchas aren't there, the user just needs to be aware of them, which is why it's important to bring them up in a discussion of the pros and cons.
