I created a symbolic link to OneDrive using the following

ln -s ~/in_between_directories/OneDrive/ ./onedrive

When I cd into onedrive from my working directory it correctly displays the directories inside OneDrive such as Documents and Photos. However, when I try to cd into Documents it displays the same directories even though the path updated to reflect that I am in the Documents directory.

~$/ cd onedrive ~/onedrive$ ls Documents Photos ~/onedrive$ cd Documents ~/onedrive/Documents$ ls Documents Photos

I do not have this problem when I manually cd into OneDrive using it's full path and I am doing this on Bash on Ubuntu on Windows. Any help will be appreciated!

  • Can you provide the outputs of ls -l while in those directories? Commented Feb 23, 2017 at 0:36
  • Outputs in both directories are the same. Here is a sample of the output (excluding personal files). total 76 drwxrwxrwx 2 root root 0 Feb 12 17:47 Documents drwxrwxrwx 2 root root 0 Jun 14 2016 Pictures Commented Feb 23, 2017 at 0:43

This was somehow solved by naming the symbolic link "OneDrive". There were no updates or downloads that I believe helped with this issue (I downloaded node and sqlite).

I had the same issue and trying a different name didn't do it for me.

It worked after updating to Windows 10 Creators Update (my current OS build is 15063.540).
