What is the main advantage of creating links to a file
instead of copies of the file?

Answer Posted / bkoh

It is a way to allow one common copy. Most commonly used
for linking to a common configuration or library file where
the file owner or administrator will just need to make the
updates and all the users will have the same updates.

This is in contrast to every user having their own copies
and when there is a major change, every user will have to
ensure that their copies is the most updated.
