Can I share a folder without it copying the contents ?

When I select to share a folder it starts copying the entire contents to a
new location.
Is there anyway to have it just link to the desired folder rather than copy
it all ?

Thanks

Greetings Scott,

I'm afraid not; copying the files is how the feature works at the moment. I would prefer it
the way you describe as well, but that's not how it was implemented.
