Is there a way to compare the files within two sets of folders?

Hello - A vendor sent me a link to their Dropbox folders to download information.  Unfortunately, their folder names are the same as the names of the shared folders we use to collaborate. Is there a way to compare the two sets of folders and see what I am missing from what is in their set so I don't have to download everything and scrub out the duplicates the long way?

 

Thank you

    Hey gcaprario, thanks for posting your query today!

     

    I'm afraid that it's currently not possible to compare two sets of folders through Dropbox; you'd only be able to do that manually on your computer, after you download them.

     

    We appreciate your feedback, though, and I'll happily pass this along to our team.

     

    Let me know if you have any questions.
