Description

I'm unable to see junction folders placed in a shared folder over a windows 10 version 1809 OS Build 17763.5458 SMB share.
Andriod 12 LineageOS 19

Powershell command to create junction link.
New-Item -Path O:\SharedFolder\LZTK -ItemType Junction -Value N:\LZTK

I can see the junction folder & contents OK on a Unix machine.

But material files does not show the junction folder.

I used 'CIFS Documents Provider' to view the junction folder instead.
