Syncing a file like a mirror between two folders.

Hi ARQPPZ, I hope you're doing well!
There's not an actual way for you to mirror the file, so both versions are identically syncing, however there are some workarounds.
You can always copy the file, and keep a different copy in the two different file paths. However, if you update one version, the other one wouldn't be updated.
Or you can keep it in the desired file path, and share it with a shared link, and view only access, so people can't edit it.
Would any of that work for you? Let me know!
- Hello Megan,
Thank you for the answer,
On your answer ...
"you can keep it in the desired file path, and share it with a shared link, and view only access, so people can't edit it. "
How or what formst could this link would have to be in order to be sitting in the folder?
Let me know what could you suggest? And is the link available to sync ?

Hey ARQPPZ, sorry to jump in here.
Our shared links are live, so if you share a link with someone and then you update the file that the link points to, they'll be able to access the updated file every time, as long as they have access to the link.
I hope this clarifies things!
- Thank you for the input.
This helps, I will dig into the "shared links" to make a run and reply to you guys.
