SpiderOak ONE and Groups do not back up nor follow symbolic links on Mac and Linux. The reason for this is that there are too many possible ways to create a recursive backup loop using symbolic links and it leads to a number of problems that are difficult to diagnose. Those often include a great deal of confusion at restore time, confusion regarding usage reporting ("Why is SpiderOak using 2.8 GB to backup this small folder?") and so on.
