Hello! I did modify your script a bit for my own purposes, but am still having trouble with this error when I actually run the program: line 49: mkdirp: command not found Here is the error in context: /Volumes/Seagate/Dropbox/AGCC/Graduation/2012/._owlclass12.jpg is NEWER than /Volumes/Seagate/Dropbox/AGCC/Graduation/2012/._owlclass12 (Sheila’s MacBook Pro's conflicted copy 2015-10-31).jpg I'm attaching the script that I've modified ever so slightly (to reflect my source and backup folders), so that you can see line 49. How do I fix this error? I would be most appreciative of any guidance or solutions that you can offer. Thank you for taking the time to read this! :) ______________my dropbox.sh script (can't seem to attach??) #!/bin/bash #Thx, http://stackoverflow.com/questions/20723868/batch-rename-dropbox-conflict-files #Point to where you want the script to look and where it should backup files it replaces #colors clear echo "This script will climb through the $folder tree and repair conflict files by deleting the OLDER of the the conflicted file and its counterpart" find $folder -type f -print0 | while read -d $'\0' file; do

mkdirp not available on my system because not an npm developer means no backups at all :/
