    This article on the Microsoft site gives you the info you need to create a symlink.

    Hi mimyotots1, thanks for messaging the Community!

     

    It sounds like you're referring to a symlink or junction point.

     

    Depending on your OS, it would vary on how to create one of them. I'd recommend reading up on how to create one of these items on your machine to see if this helps.

     

    If you need any further assistance, please let me know.

      here if you can see in my team. they still able to have this hidden folder so the templates and software we use still able to work because the old link still able to use. 

      but in the other account (admin) we didnt have this anymore so they cant use the templates and software that link to old link. 

      due to the upgrade of Dropbox it was move to new folder. so all links was dead and it will takes months if we will repath all templates and softwares.

        Thanks for the info, you're referring to the hidden symlink as referenced on this page.

         

        If one wasn't created on your device automatically, then you'll need to create one on your own. We'd recommend researching official resources and sites in order to successfully create a symlink to the Dropbox folder.
