Full Discussion: Copy between two different folders containing same sub-folders

Copy between two different folders containing same sub-folders
I have a folder like this

Code:
ls input1

dir1 dir2 dir3 file1 file2 file3

dir1, dir2 and dir3 are sub-folders inside the folder input1

Code:
ls input2

dir1 dir2 dir3 file1 file2 file3

My dir1 in input1 folder has files f1, f2, f3 and f4.

My dir1 in input2 folder has file f4 and f5.

Now, I would like to have a bash script which checks the sub-folder names and updates the contents, but never replaces the entire contents.

If I would like to copy the contents of input2 to input1, then my dir1 sub-folder's contents in input1 should be f1, f2,f3,f4 and f5. But not just f4 and f5.

I could try cp, but my folders size is more than 500GB.

Any helps are highly appreciated. Thanks
