Identify Duplicate and Unique Files

Post by TimberXY »

Hello, I have several external hard drives that I have used to back-up data from various computers throughout the years and I did poor version control, so I have dozens of copies of the same data in some cases across multiple hard drives, but yet each hard drive has some unique data as well.

How could I use XYPlorer to help automatically compare the contents of different hard drives to identify which files are duplicated and which ones are unique?

Thanks

You could switch both panes into branch view mode (Menu - View - Views - Branch View)
and then use Menu - Panes - Sync Select...
and one of it's settings

But that probably depends a lot on the amount of data you want to compare / process here...
