According to the help page, we exclude a folder with "\name\". But that's not working.
This works: "*\name\*"

Your exclusion "*\name\*" will exclude all files and folders that have a folder called "name" anywhere in their path.
An exclusion "*\name\" should give the same result.
If you just have a single (sub)folder "name" in the entire tree, the above might be OK for you.
Your initial exclusion "\name\" should exclude just the folder "name" (and its content) if that folder resides in the root of your left and/or right folder pair selected for synchronization.
If your folder "name" does not reside in the root of the FFS left/right folder pair, but deeper in the tree, then you need to specify the full relative location with respect to the root of the left/right pair.
