Compare Folders by content

Have you tried the Synchronise Folders command? It would compare the contents of the folder, including subfolders (if you wish), comparing files by contents, ignoring timestamp differences, etc.

You just don't need actually to synchronise the files between the folders, but you will get a useful comparison result.
