  2. Ubuntu 14.10 and Earlier

    If your OS uses sysvinit, upstart, control Sync with the following commands:

    sudo service btsync (command)

    where (command) can be start, stop, or restart

    Ubuntu 15.04 and Later

    If your OS uses systemd, use the following commands to control Sync:

    sudo systemctl (command) btsync

    where (command) can be start, stop, enable, disable, or status

    Permissions and users

    Note, that when you install Sync package it is going to add btsync user to your Linux and run under btsync user. Take care of permissions and groups before you start syncing.

    If you are using Ubuntu 15.04 or later it is possible to run Sync under your current user account, if you start it with the command:

    sudo systemctl --user (command) btsync

    Unfortunately, this option is not available for 14.10 or earlier.
