Windows 10 Cmd shell supports MKLINK or you can do "New-Item -ItemType SymbolicLink ..." in PowerShell (on newer Windows 10 PCs, I think starting with PowerShell v5 maybe) but the PowerShell is still a bit harder for me to remember how to use when creating
Symbolic Links. Sometimes, you can cheat by creating a link in Folder Explorer that will actually function like a symbolic link, but I think that's unlikely to work on average.</div>

I'm not sure whether Windows 10 supports a Linux-like soft link, although <br clear="none">
it appears maybe it does?[1] If so, you can add it to your gdrive or <br clear="none">
dropbox and add a symbolic link, no problem.<br clear="none">

Good luck!
