Try using this for your spaces:
%\
Or setting the path in double quotes:
C:\mklink /D C:\Users\Drew\Copy [email protected]\Pictures "C:\Users\Drew\Pictures"

I'm trying to make a symbolic link via the windows command prompt. I am using a drop box-like service called Copy. it creates a new folder which it syncs to the web and other computers that it's installed on. I want to sync my pictures folder to it without creating duplicates on the hard drive.
This is the command I'm entering, but I keep getting an error message, and i think it has to do with the space in my folder name. Please let me know if that's the problem and what i can to do fix it. thank you in advance
C:\mklink /D C:\Users\Drew\Copy [email protected]\Pictures C:\Users\Drew\Pictures
