Windows 10: Robocopy not copying newer file

I have a file in a OneDrive folder named bernie3_journal.txt. It has today's date which is 10/7. I'm trying to use robocopy to copy the file to my son's OneDrive folder as shown below. The bernie3_journal.txt file in my son's OneDrive folder has a date stamp of 8/5. I've tried several switches like /IF, but robocopy is still not copying the newer file to my son's one drive.


What do I need to do so robocopy copies this newer file and replaces the older one?


$Files = "bernie3_journal.txt MyDates.txt"

$Source = "C:\Users\bernie\OneDrive\Documents\Notes"

$Dest = "C:\Users\bernie\OneDrive\For Bernard from Dad"

robocopy $Source $Dest $Files

:)

 

Cannot force ROBOCOPY to copy files with /IS

Well... I never clearly understood where the boundary lies...

Copy files

You can use the command line utility robocopy:

robocopy c:\oldfiles d:\newfiles /mir

It will only copy new files or files that ar newer than the version on the source directory.

 

Java.nio.file - Copying files

You can't copy a folder, thats why it generates an exception (you are trying to copy a folder using a copy file function).
You probably need to list all the files inside that folder and copy one by one
