It computes a fingerprint of the file within a time limit and reports one of three results: `same`, `differs`, or `daemon_gave_up` when the check ran out of time. Before, the result only listed which files were placed and which were kept.\n\nNew checks of file records also take file fingerprints and file details, and report `nothing_done` when they are turned off.\n\n**Why**\n\nThis is part of how files are kept in step between your computer and a cloud session.\n\n- Area: Cloud Sessions\n- Tier: Under the hood\n- Useful: 1\/5\n- Signal: 2\/5\n- Scope: individual\n- Heads-up: no"}
