I have 2 folders with almost same files but some of the files are
The easiest most redundant way is to copy the contents of one folder,
then paste into the destination folder. Then do the same from the
destination folder into the source folder. The redundant part would be
you would have to click NO a lot as windows will ask if you want to
overwrite. I suppose you could click 'Yes to all' but you better be
sure your not going to overwrite something you need.
In the simplest case, you could choose "Yes" or "No" by looking at the
two file dates and keeping the most recent.
It’s more complex if the same file might’ve been updated in both folders.
Suppose on Monday there’s a file with the same content in both places;
for example, the following text:
Parsley
Sage
Rosemary
Thyme
Then on Tuesday somebody changed “Sage” to “Astute” in the file in the
first folder.
Then on Wednesday somebody changed “Rosemary” to “Alice” in the file in
the second older.
In this case, you’d have to edit the file content if you wanted to keep
both changes.
To detect this case, you’d have to know when the two directories were
synchronized most recently, and look for cases where both file dates are
later than that.
