Hello again. I have several movies saved on my NAS, and wanted to have them in one folder for easy searching while also having folders for specific genres.

I tried creating some symlinks on my Linux machine, but those aren’t visible on Windows or Android. I then tried creating shortcuts on a Windows machine, but those don’t work on Linux or Android.

Is there any hope for setting up universally recognized symlinks/shortcuts?

    Thank you for the suggestions, I managed to find a solution that works for me.

    Setting up hardlinks to the original file in other directories through Linux allows the data to be accessed from both locations and is detected by (seemingly) every OS!

    This is probably a very clunky way to do it, but it works for what I’m currently looking for.
