I made some tests and confirm .lnk files will not upload from Win 10 Client 3.2 to Nextcloud.
client log shows following lines:
2021-05-05 09:50:57:506 [ warning nextcloud.gui.activity ]: Item "Readme.md.lnk" retrieved resulted in error "Symbolic links are not supported in syncing."
2021-05-05 09:50:57:506 [ info nextcloud.gui.activity ]: First checking for duplicates then add file to the notification list of ignored files: "Readme.md.lnk"
looks like links are excluded by intention:
Update:
Hi guys,
I plan to move to nextcloud as soon as it comes out.
I was wondering if nextcloud has any plans for symbolic link support.
I currently backup and sync my project and work folders with owncloud, and there are some internal symlinks in there.
It would be nice if symlinks are also saved as is, meaning that they will appear as symlinks on other devices as well.
At the moment, I have to manually take care of these symlinks which is a bit annoying.

Currently when I add a symlink inside my Nextcloud folder it doesn't sync becaus… e "Symbolic links are not supported in syncing".
I am trying to use Nextcloud as a home for my data, to have it synced between my PCs. Now I'd also like to be able to access my git-repositories (mostly) code via the directory-structure in Nextcloud but I don't want to sync the git-repositories via Nextcloud. This is why it would be really nice for me to be able syncing only the link to the repository which is on a fixed position on any system. eg: ~/Nextcloud/current_projects/fizzbuzz would point to ~/repositories/fizzbuzz.
If I happen to be on a system where this git-repository isn't present I can just clone the repository there.
This option could be optional (like the syncing of hidden files).
There's also a issue about this for the owncloud-client here: https://github.com/owncloud/client/issues/1440

I just installed 3.2.1 and I have the feeling that previously, .lnk files (short… cut in Windows) were synced (at least that I could remove these files from the **Ignored Files** list.
On 3.2.1, I can't force the sync anymore.
Am I wrong?
there on-going discussions how/if .lnk files will be supported - stay tuned.
