- What I needed was a way to compare the contents of the two folders, then synchronize them so that each had the most up-to-date files. Then I could delete one and use the other as the 'master' MP3.
- IntelliJ IDEA lets you compare files in two folders against their file size, content, or timestamp. The differences are displayed in the Differences Viewer for Folders: The top pane lists all files in the selected folders, while the bottom pane shows the differences between two versions of the selected file (see Compare files ).

Here’s a quick and easy way to compare the contents of two folders with PowerShell.
Have you ever needed to figure out if two folders had the same files in them? I’m not talking about the same amount of files or even files with the same name but the actual same files? A good way to do this is to generate hashes of all the files in the source directory and the destination directory and compare the two. Let’s find out how to make this happen. Ctg file.
Let’s say I have a folder C:SourceFolder and C:DestinationFolder that might have the exact same files in them. I’d like to confirm this.
Creating file hashes is an expensive operation especially if the files are large so I’m going to try other checks first before I have to go to that extent.
First, I can ensure that both folders just exist.
Then, I can enumerate the files in each folder to ensure the file names are the same.

Then, and only then, I’ll go ahead and check the hashes to be sure the files are exactly the same in both folders
