Hi -
We're trying to move some Google File stream folders to Dropbox using Folder Compare and Synchronise.
However, we're getting odd mismatches in file counts in Finder following Beyond Compare file syncing.
Here's the steps we've taken:
1. Step up File Stream client in macOS on our local file server
2. Tick 'Available Offline' for the File Stream folder we're archiving (and wait for it to download)
3. Select destination Dropbox folder in macOS (this is is a pre-existing folder but appears empty in finder)
4. Open a Folder Compare session in Beyond Compare with the source File Stream and destination folders.
5. Run Synchronise - to update the destination Dropbox folder.
Running 'Get Info' in Finder afterwards shows a notable difference between folder sizes:
4.72GB (File Stream) vs. 4.71GB (Dropbox), but oddly many more files in the destination Dropbox (350 vs 436)
However, Beyond Compare's Folder Compare (*.*) only shows minor diffs between the folders (.DS_Store files)
Can anyone suggest what might be the issue or how to interrogate this further?
Thanks!
Nick
