I have an app folder on iCloud. Because it is non-shareable, I want to copy its contents to a shared folder on Dropbox. I want every time I change a file on iCloud, it will be updated to Dropbox. I'm not professional, please help me with a detailed command/instruction. Thank you so much.

I would recommend something like this:

fswatch  /path/to/your/icloud/directory | xargs -I {} sh -c "cp '{}' /path/to/other/folder"
