Be careful here–if you’re syncing a folder named Example and you choose, say, /Users/you/Example in this dialog, BitTorrent Sync will add a folder at /Users/you/Example/Example.

A Link can be so called Hard Link linking one file to a target file, or a 
Soft Link linking a folder to a target folder. Soft Links are also called Symbolic Links. 
Third link type is Junction, basically a hard link but as hard links can only link files 
we need to use junctions to link folders.

    mkdir BTSync
    mklink /J "BTSync\Contacts" "Contacts"
    mklink /J "BTSync\user_Desktop" "Desktop"
    mklink /J "BTSync\Documents" "Documents"
    mklink /J "BTSync\Downloads" "Downloads"

Junctions

Junctions are counterparts to hard links in that they work on directories instead of files. Implemented 
as reparse points stored as metadata in the file system junctions can point to other directories or volumes 
on the same computer, but not to folders on other computers. Unlike hard links, junctions point to a fixed 
path, the target. If the target is moved, deleted or renamed, you get the error “File not found” when attempting 
to list the contents of a junction. That means junctions can become stale, while hard links cannot.
