App that scans hard drive for PDF, Excel and Word files except hidden files/folders and copies them to one drive sync folder
I have written this code but doesn't work, it goes on forever and doesn't copy all files and also doesn't exclude the exclude directories
I also don't know how to exclude the hidden folders/files it crashes when it goes to "documents and settings" for example any help?
Working on .NET 4.7.2
