Is there an advantage to portals over regular shortcuts in Windows

from Stardock Forums

Hello,

First off,  I want to say I am a fan of Fences.  I was wondering, however, what, if anything, is the advantage of using portals inside Fences as opposed to just setting a shortcut.  It seems they do the same thing.  Are there features that portals have over shortcuts??

thanks

Portals allow you to see and interact with the folder right on your desktop. As with other fences, you can adjust their visibility and even have them roll-up for a cleaner desktop.
