OneDrive folder number

kindly note that I need to compare the number of the synced folders and files with the folder already located on the cloud as there is no option to do so by folder, it's only the total files and folders in the site

    Hi Ahmed_Moneer,

    If you want to check whether the folders and files in your local OneDrive folder match what's in the cloud (OneDrive online), you can do it manually:

    1. Open the OneDrive app on your computer.

    2. Make sure that everything in your OneDrive is up to date by checking the system tray icon on Windows or the menu bar icon on macOS. Wait for it to say "Up to date."

    3. Open your OneDrive folder on your computer. This folder should contain the same stuff as your OneDrive online.

    4. Count how many folders and files are in your local OneDrive folder.

    5. Go to the OneDrive website (https://onedrive.live.com) and log in with your Microsoft account to access OneDrive online.

    6. Navigate to the same location in OneDrive online that corresponds to your local OneDrive folder.

    7. Count how many folders and files are in OneDrive online.

    8. Compare the numbers you got in steps 4 and 7. If they match, it means that your local OneDrive folder matches OneDrive online in terms of folders and files.

    This process is manual (there is no such built-in function in OneDrive) and may not be practical if you have a lot of folders and files.
