    Syncing folders using symbolic links


    Hi everyone!

    I have a question about symbolic links on Windows 10.


    How can I sync folders using the function "mklink" CMD, and point to a folder which already exists, without creating a new folder? is it even possible?

    Because when I create a symbolic link in that way, it always creates a new folder. I just want to sync two folders that I choose.

    :)
