Folders Compare
Description
Folders Compare checks whether two files or two folders are identical by comparing their size, content, and optionally all subfolders. Use this process entry for validation and change detection — for example, verifying that a backup matches the original, confirming that a file transfer produced an identical copy, or detecting whether any files changed between two directory snapshots. The result is true when the content matches and false otherwise, controlling the process branch.
