I do the same with a symlink, for dropbox.

Are you saying that copy will notice a shortcut.ink and upload what it points to, or are you using a symlink too?

Because I have always been pretty sure the big problem with shortcuts is that no programs can tell they are actually supposed to represent a different file/folder. IIRC Dropbox can't, and confuses a lot of people like that.
