I just synched Drobox between my old Windows 10 laptop (the source) and my new Window 11 desktop (the target). I then did a Windows Properties on the Dropbox folder on both machines.
On the source:
273,345 Files, 32,878 Folders
On the target:
273,344 Files, 32,878 Folders
So there's one less file on the target. Is there a quick and easy way for me to identify the file that wasn't synched?
From what I remember about Dropbox, it used to keep old versions of every file under .dropbox instead of immediately deleting them, as well as storing temporary sync files there. This subfolder needs to be excluded from your count, otherwise the numbers will be inaccurate.
Open Command Prompt, cd/d to your Dropbox, then do
dir/a/b/on/s | sort > C:\Users\foo\Desktop\filelist.txt
to get a list of files. Do it on both systems, then use any diff tool (e.g. fc or git diff) to compare them.
