File Manager shows an empty directory for a linked folder

Symptoms

When accessing a folder inside of File Manager which links to a location outside of the users' home directory, the directory shows to be empty.

Description 

Symbolically-linked directories outside of a user's home directory (i.e., /home/user/folder to /home2/user) will be seen as empty in File Manager, by design.

Workaround

Use a BIND mount.
