I'd like some way to see all the conflicted copies from my Dropbox folder.
I personally use a Mac mostly, but I welcome Windows and Linux solutions.

Since I couldn't find a good way to do this for Mac, I wrote my own script using the find
command and some AppleScript.
Paste this into AppleScript editor and save it as an app:
set conflictedFiles to do shell script "cd ~/Dropbox; find -L . \\( -path \"*.dropbox*\" -prune \\) -o \\( -name \"*conflicted*\" -print \\)"
set fileList to paragraphs of conflictedFiles as list
repeat with currFile in fileList
set currPath to (path to home folder as string) & "Dropbox" & POSIX file (characters 3 thru -1 of (currFile as string) as string)
tell application "Finder" to make new Finder window to currPath
end repeat
This script finds all the conflicted files and opens a Finder window to each one.
Be careful using this if you think you've got a lot of conflicts; your desktop may get covered with windows!
Note that this will still work fine if you've got symlinks in your Dropbox folder.
MacPaw's Gemini duplicate file utility can also route out these and file copies of all kinds. Then you can delete them easily. It's $6.99 in the App store. Just zapped about 500 conflicted docs.
Your question isn't very clear, if you want a listing of all files which are conflicted in Windows command prompt cd to the Dropbox folder and type in
dir *"Selective Sync"* /s /b
I've written a script in sh
which does this. It ought to run on any standard Linux or Unix shell - and also supports piping filenames through encfsctl
if you have an encfs
-encrypted folder in there.
You can find it on github.
