  Literally a thing that uses a file path. Did you think shortcuts pointed at some kind of hidden identifier? Nope! Change the folder name, you change the path, and you break the link.

  Same thing happens with web URLs

  This has happened to me on my home Linux server.

  You have directory xyz.

  You set up share access for directory xyz.

  You change directory xyz to abc.

  Share access is still set up for directory xyz. Need to set up access for abc.

    That usually doesn’t apply to external access though. You don’t share stuff publicly by NFS or SMB.
