Feature: Compare and synchronize two folders

What feature or improvement do you think would benefit Files?

It would be nice, if I can synchronize two directories in Split View.

@doctorrerumnaturalium can you clarify what you mean by synchronize split pane (I assume you are referring to Dual Pane). Also, please fill out the issue template as prompted.

If I open folder A in the left split pane (e.g., locally) and folder B in the right split pane (e.g., on a file server), I want to be able to compare and, if necessary, synchronize both folders. That is, different files from left to right or vice versa. So, I want to get 2 folders compared and updated, relative to eachother.

Like the Synchronize directories tool in Total Commander

This is more of a feature request and that would need some specialised UI and UX, rather than just something added to the Dual Pane views.
