Uploading only changed files

Hello Andrea,

I would like to know if it's possible to write a script which scans directories recursively and uploads to Dropbox only if a file has been changed.

If you already have a script like that or a link to a script like that, please let me know.

It is currenlty the default behavior: before uploading, it will check for file difference between the local and the cloud one. If there is no difference, the file will not be uploaded. If there is a difference, meaning the local file changed, then the local file is uploaded.

Is there a parameter to save (and overwrite) files with an newer timestamp?

I have files with do not change their name but sometimes overwritten with newer dates.
