Get rid of Dropbox conflicted copies
If you are like me and have multiple computers with spotty internet connection this happens all the time.
Warning: This will delete your conflicted copies
If you are not sure about deleting them, DON'T
find ~/Dropbox/ -path "*(*'s conflicted copy [0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9]-[0-9][0-9]-[0-9][0-9]*" -exec rm -f {} \;If you just want to find out about your conflicted copies, then run this:
find ~/Dropbox/ -path "*(*'s conflicted copy [0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9]-[0-9][0-9]-[0-9][0-9]*" -printWritten by Miha Rekar

Thank you! This is very helpful. We run a small non-profit radio station that uses DropBox extensively to upload audio audio elements for three different music formats. Because we're located on a rural island, Internet service leaves a lot to be desired. Getting rid of these conflicted copies means that listeners won't hear outdate weather forecasts (important here in hurricane country) and yesterday's newscasts. Many, many, thanks!
