    step 1 create data to sync 
    example: folder (test1) with (data1) text file and subbfolder (sub1) inside
    step 2 add folder to btsync
    step 3 add items to ignorelist
    step 4 restart computer
    step 5 use read and write key to add folder to 2nd device

    ignorelist

    test1
    test2\*
    \test3

    results

    all 3 folders where on the second device

    all 3 subfolders where on the second device

    none of the data files where synced over to the second device in any folder

    I used that syntax link and I was getting mixed results.   I created five folders for the single file a single folder in each and try a different method to prevent each one from syncing.  I got mixed results based on the ways that I tested (I'll post my results.)  Also when I tried to implement the partially successful syntax, I ended up with different  I ended up with different salts results.

     Possibly my issue is in the timing. I add the folder then edit the ignore list in the .sync folder.  So by the time I edit the list it's already been indexing. 

     The  btsync  Service was holding at 15% processing power on my computer for hours.  The processor is a 8 core AMD.

     I had the idea of backing up my entire user (Aaron)  on windows 10. This would back up my desktop or my documents or pictures folders and so on.  There are folders that were included that I didn't want, specifically Appdata.  I did some research and came across the ignorelist in the .sync file.  I have made some attempts and have made some progress.  My questions are as follows. 

     What is the syntax to prevent a entire subfolder from syncing? 

    Will btsync  always continue to index all folders? 

    Also

     Is it common for the Btsync Service to use processing power continuously?

    @Roman Z that made it work and boot at start.

    my next part I am working on is getting permissions fixed. I tried using this command hoping to get the user running the service to change to pi and received this message. 

    pi@raspberrypi:~ $ sudo systemctl --user start btsync
    Failed to get D-Bus connection: Connection refused

    aaron@ubuntu:~$ sudo systemctl enable btsync

    The unit files have no [Install] section. They are not meant to be enabled
    using systemctl.
    Possible reasons for having this kind of units are:
    1) A unit may be statically enabled by being symlinked from another unit's
       .wants/ or .requires/ directory.
    2) A unit's purpose may be to act as a helper for some other unit which has
       a requirement dependency on it.
    3) A unit may be started when needed via activation (socket, path, timer,
       D-Bus, udev, scripted systemctl call, ...).

    I  just completed a clean install of Ubuntu 15.10.   I did all available updates. I installed btsync  by way of the new official apt-get.  I am able to use the commands to start and stop the service.   The problem is I am trying to make it auto start.   There is an init.d  script in place that is very different from what other people are using (see above). This may be a rookie mistake but I can't find any information because of how the new be official apt-get option is.
