Long story Short....
Many years of digital Photos, from various sources. I have two main folders (on different NAS Machines) That should be exact copies of each other (I'll bet that they are not). Then various other folder on a couple of computers...
Is there any way to combine these in one congruent folder with all the pictures (obviously not bringing in duplicates? I'm ok with some redundancy , but not 100% realizing that similar folder similar folder structures must be adhered to... Meaning if I have a Honeymoon Directory under C:\Pictures\Honeymoon vs the same directory under C:\Pictures\2005\Honeymoon that they would probably both be moved into the new combined directory.. C:\whyarentyoumoreorganized...
Not an exact example, but I'm sure something may happen.
My plan was to copy all the pictures off of my ReadyNAS DUO and RN102 to the same hard drive of my desktop... Then run a program to verify and combine them to one.
Anyone here already done this?
I have access to a Ubuntu Linux Box and a Windows 10 Machine to do this. My system in either case is a Skylake i5 with 8GB of RAM. I was going to buy a new hard drive to copy everything to. I'm sure the combined directories are under 3TB total.
