    Why is "Items Remaining" file size different to total file size in "properties"


    I'm downloading about 2,500 pictures and videos from my Onedrive to my HDD. When I looked in Windows Explorer/Properties, the size of all the files came to about 75GB ignoring size on disk as they are all in the cloud. When I started to copy them, the "Items Remaining" info in the copy box started at about 133GB.What accounts for this discrepancy and is the system actually downloading 133GB or 75GB? I'm using my new full fibre connection and was interested to time how long it took for a large amount of data.Cheers, Phil.

    Why is "Items Remaining" file size different to total file size in "properties"

    Copying files to my external drive, files totally different sizes, WHY

    I have to send my nearly new hp all in one computer in for repairs so I am copying all of my personal files to my Seagate external hard drive. I am using Windows 10 with all latest updates. I am using File Explorer copy/paste function and it takes a couple
    hours to complete. After it completes and I use properties to look at the size and number of files and folders, they are totally different. Yet when I go through each folder I can't find anything different, nothing seems to be missing.

    The D: drive shows a size 29.9 GB, 9,243 Files and 1,308 Folders

    Seagate copy shows a size 13.5 GB, 5,220 Files and 428 Folders

    Any ideas why the difference? Am I at risk of losing my data if I erase the D: drive?
