   Hmm. A symlinked folder I can navigate through and save to from gedit, but shows as broken and can't be clicked through in nautilus.

     @PaulCzege if it's a relative symlink - nautilus might be parsing the path wrong?

     @PaulCzege @darkade ls -l shows a target that's there?

     When I ls the directory the symlinked folder is light blue (meaning no problems?). But when I view it within nautilus it has a weird/broken icon and I can't click through it.

     When I save a new file from gedit to the symlinked folder, I can't see the file in the actual/destination folder from nautilus, until I restart, and then it's there.

     @PaulCzege 🧐 that's so weird. Does anything look out of place when you ls for the symlink?

     @PaulCzege huh - that's a fully qualified path... did you install nautilus from snap or app image? That looks like a cross device symlink which would break inside a snap or appimage

     It's a symlink across partitions of the same ssd. I created it via command line. I pasted the path for the command, but haven't copy/pasted the symlink within nautilus.

     @PaulCzege sorry, out of my depth, I hope it gets figured, sorry, wish I could help more (cross device does include different partitions in this context though, to be clear)

     @silverwizard @darkade
     I did ultimately find a pattern. Upon startup the previously created symlink, which is to a folder in a partition on a SSD, is broken and cannot be traversed. But if I navigate through the actual destination folder in Nautilus it fixes the symlink.
