This link sums it up nicely:

PS: Point 3, the "minimal and complete example demonstrating the problem" would be more helpful than going all "meta".
A nice link, which is useful to know for people who don't ...

No, it's not just a number, you're referring to a screenshot where the number you mention is not existing. You need to be precise with words when you want help for a particular problem. Don't use words like "it" or "same subject". It may be obvious to you what you are thinking, but since there are ...

There is no "95%" in the screenshot above, so it's not clear what you are talking about.
Of course it is. 95 is just a number. Whether it is 95, 60, or 75 does not change what it is. You can see in the screen shot above what it is this thread is talking about and hence what I am talking about as ...

Sometimes the user is given the option to "not show this warning/dialog again". This button makes them reappear. Any improvement to the button label needed?
Maybe just a link to a section in the helpfile with such an explanation. Otherwise people may not know what it's for just like we see here ...

> How can it still show 95% compared to nothing...?

It doesn't compare left to right, it compares the relative contributions of the source folders, to my understanding. The first level (top level) folders of the hierarchy always add up to ...

Can you post a screenshot showing the bar you are talking about?
I don't really see much point in that, there is already a screen shot in the first post, so why post an other one ?

Besides my sync operation is already finished if there was for some reason any interest in recreating it in order to ...

What do you mean?
Well as I explained above, when I copy/sync to a drive thats completely >empty<. How can it still show 95% compared to nothing...?

You already said it's in relation to the other items in there. But as said, when there is nothing there, logic dictates it should be either a value ...

An other good question which I also have. Just came across this myself and wonder what on earth it is.

I'll be waiting to hear this as well.

The percentage represents the file size relative to the other items in the folder, see the values in the "size" column.Zenju

That doesn't explain why it shows 95% when there is nothing there...

Yes ! this is such a good question, just what I was scratching my head for myself.

And the helpfile makes no mention of it either. The weirdest thing I think so far is that when syncing 1 drive to an other completely EMPTY drive, the bar still shows 95%...I would have expected it then to be either ...
