mledwards34 Posted February 19, 2016 Report Share Posted February 19, 2016 Hi there, Does anyone know if it's possible to sync aliases on a Sync share between 2 Macs? I've attached 2 screenshots: 1) The computer where the alias was created. 2) The computer where the alias was synced. It's just an encoded file that can't be accessed.

Remirus Posted February 19, 2016 Report Share Posted February 19, 2016 mledwards34, MacOS uses extended attributes for Aliases without them MacOS won't know that some file is the Alias. Information about them stored in the ._DS_Store file. You can try removing "._DS_Store" string from .sync/IgnoreList which is located in your folder. If it doesn't help you can try creating symlinks with this command in the terminal: ln -s "path_to_folder" "symlink_name" Please note that in both cases folder should exist on both computers with the same path or symlink/alias would be broken.
