Hey y'all,
Discovered this genius lil project while looking for a way to organize my Dropbox files via command line-- I have a very large folder that's not synced with my desktop, and the web interface is so slow and gross for doing heavy lifting. I'm on mac OS 10.12.5, and downloaded the latest Darwin binary (v2.0.2).
I have enough general command line knowledge to break just about anything, which ultimately means I can get around, but not well. What I'd like to do in plain English is this: "Move all files that begin with '2012-' in the 'Photos backup-- 2011-2016' folder to a subfolder there called '2012.'" I like to live on the edge, so I tried a few ways, with no success. Here's what I thought I should do, with its output.
$ dbxcli mv "Photos backup-- 2011-2016/2012-*.*" "Photos backup-- 2011-2016/2012/"
Move error: &{{/Photos backup-- 2011-2016/2012-*.* /Photos backup-- 2011-2016/2012//Photos backup-- 2011-2016/2012-*.*} false false}
Any help for my bull-in-a-china-shop technique is greatly appreciated. [smash smash]
