Maybe that issue shoul be treated case by case. For instance: In a FTP
server it's possible to share folders using symbolic links o9n the server
side. Dropbox has this issue available by default (nothing to do with
Syncany as long as I know). S3 too. And so on...

I see this issue a matter of storage service provider, not of Syncany
itself. =)

Am I wrong?

Cheers
