Date/time, suppose that could be done.
Content, it would then have to decompress in order to compare the files.

If the source/target OS did it on its own, it would be transparent to the application (FFS) using operating under it (I would think).

(Windows itself has the ability to compress files/directories.
I've never [specifically] used that feature.
And how it plays out, copying locally, much less copying to a foreign OS - which I'd guess would simply receive decompressed versions of the files, can't say?

I means that,if select compress optition, do not compare, compress source files into one compress file to destination only. if destination numbers of file exceed the set numbers, delete the old ones.

I agree that it would be very nice to have the option, for OS / file systems that support it (e.g. Windows NTFS volumes), to specify that the target folder will be compressed by the operating system.
