Question

I have drawings for different products ('A' and 'B'). Some drawings are for 'A,' some are for 'B,' and some are for both. How do I mirror A/B drawings from folder A to folder B?

Community Answer

While I'm unsure of your OS, you could try storing the 'A' folder and the 'B' folder in another folder called 'AB.' Then, when choosing a directory, you can narrow down to folder A, B, or AB as a source, where AB will contain all of A and B. That's as specific as I can get without knowing more about the OS and programs you're using.

Question

I have two drives with mostly the same files and folders under the "Documents" folder in each. How do I copy from one to another, but skip duplication where the files are identical?

Community Answer

Just drag one on top of another. It will alert you whenever a duplicate file is found, and ask if you want to skip the duplicate file or rename it; just select Skip.

Phillip Remaker

Community Answer

Check out Azcopy which is CLI based, quick and robust, or Gs Richcopy360 which is GUI based, fast, robust and has new features to control the sync speed, while uploading to AWS S3 to avoid bandwidth-consuming.
