+NOTE: This is not supported by ownCloud team and can result in unexpected behaviors (including data loss and the end of the world)
+=== Official way (since Nextcloud 21.0.0) ===
+  * Add <code>'localstorage.allowsymlinks' => true,</code> to the config file located in nextcloudcloud/config/config.php
+=== Alternative #1 (pre Nextcloud 21.0.0) ===
   - Open owncloud/lib/private/Files/Storage/Local.php
   - Change the variable $allowSymlinks from false to true
-OR
+=== Alternative #2 (pre Nextcloud 21.0.0) ===
   - Look for the row containing "Following symlinks is not allowed" (in 10.0.1 version is located at row 373) and replace the row with: "return $fullPath;"
+If using any of the two alternative ways, you probably want to disable the integrity check in owncloud/config/config.php adding:
+<code>'integrity.check.disabled' => true,</code>
