Is there a way to show the percentage completed in Robocopy? I am running with /NDL and /NFL, but I would like to see the overall percentage... is this possible?

    Well over 10k views, and two question up-votes -- sounds about right. Best of luck to you, fellow Googler! – MrDuk Jun 24 '16 at 20:39
  • I haven't tried yet with /ndl and /nfl but it's worth noting that robocopy does give a percentage by default e.g. `robocopy . .\a blah.big` (that's how to transfer an individual file http://serverfault.com/questions/52983/robocopy-transfer-file-and-not-folder ) and there switch to turn progress bar off says progress bar is default `/np Specifies that the progress of the copying operation (the number of files or directories copied so far) will not be displayed.` But I guess maybe you lose the progess bar with those switches you used – barlop Jul 21 '16 at 14:49

I haven't found a way to do so. Instead I use PowerShell to do the copy and track progress.

This might be of use: Custom RoboCopy Progress Bar in PowerShell

For others who come here from Google and don't normally read the comments, @barlop posted correctly:

the default behavior of robocopy is to include percentages. Use /np to not include progress.
