        Continue with what you have to #4 in these instructions.

        In this line of code:

        # get parameters
        direction="$1"
        system="$2"
        rom="$3"
        

        I changed it to:

        # get parameters
        direction="$1"
        system=""
        rom="$3"
        

        Too many folders are created with the first option.

        Also, be sure to make the necessary location changes in these:

        # path to RCLONE
        rclonePath="/home/pi/rclone-v1.39-linux-arm/rclone"
        
        # local base directory for your saves
        localPath="/home/pi/RetroPie/saves"
        
        # remote directory for your saves, has to be configured via "rclone config" first
        remotePath="dropbox:RetroArch"
        

        One thing to mention, if for some reason your Retropie is offline, your system will freeze and you will need to power it off.
