Setting up linked folder on homestead to match Envoyer

I am having trouble setting up a linked folder in homestead. I want to mimic the same folder linking that's used on Envoyer, where public/uploads is symlinked to storage/app/uploads. Whenever I try to create a symlink in homestead it says it's broken. I'm just not sure the proper way to do this. This is what I've tried:

ln -s storage/app/uploads/ /public/

Thanks!
