Compare files and select bigger one
There are two directories with many files. Those files are always matching in names and not always matching in size. For example:
/dir1
|-file1 (1 MB)
|-file2 (2 MB)
|-file3 (3 MB)
/dir2
|-file1 (1 KB)
|-file2 (2 MB)
|-file3 (10 MB)
As you see, filenames are match but filesize matches only in file2.
How can I compare files in those 2 directories and select files only which are bigger? Output in example case must be "/dir2/file3".
