    Hi,

    I figured it out, here was the issue. The test library I made was accidently within another library's folder, so it was appearing in one library but not the other. Doh!

    Once I'd brought the test library out of the other's folder it started to detect the hardlinks. Symlinks still don't seem to work (and in fact seemed to cause the webclient to hang? But that might have just been bad luck).

    So TLDR, Hardlinks work within windows, just make sure you aren't creating a library within another!
