I’ve attached a picture of the process when paused, so you can see my initial command and its current status. Perhaps a linked point: on this large upload, each time it nears completion, the number of files to upload increases significantly again, and the log appears to go back over folders it has previously dealt with and upload specific images I can verify are already on the Google platform. Find and delete duplicate and similar photos from your PC, Mac and smartphone with Duplicate Photo. This makes me nervous about re-running the copy command once this process is complete (to capture a small number of failures), because I don’t particularly want to have hundreds of GB pointlessly reuploded. It has a special one that detects every image’s unique hash code to ensure that exact, identical pictures don’t get uploaded twice. Any filtering of the duplicate would appear to be happening post-upload on Google’s side. Although labeled as experimental, I find it works pretty good. But as the very large upload has continued, I’m seeing files be uploaded that I know were previously uploaded. Click on Tools, Experimental, Show Duplicate Files. Upon re-running the copy function (after it was interrupted first time round), at first it seemed that this was happening (the log was producing high number of ‘Checks’ - I assumed this was confirmation of an already uploaded file). Antidupl is pretty fantastic, it shows every duplicate, how similar they are, highlights differences, has keyboard shortcuts to automatically delete a duplicated image or even point a mistake in order to remove that duplicate relation, and also checks for defect and photos with blockiness due to lossy compression. What does rclone do when a duplicate photo already exists on Google Photos (which itself has previously been uploaded by rclone)? My understanding of the copy function had been that rclone would scan the destination and where a duplicate exists, it would skip uploading the photo. It should be a one-off, one-way transfer so no need to use sync. If you want to find duplicate pictures, it is handy to select Tiles in the view option and sort the items. It’s working very well and the vast majority has uploaded successfully but there’s a few behaviours which I’m confused about for which I haven’t been able to find answers. Choose a OneDrive folder to start finding duplicates. Then, you can delete duplicate photos by clicking on the Delete button at the top menu. If they have the same type, size, and content, most likely they are duplicates. I’m using rclone on my Raspberry Pi to get a very large photo library on my WD M圜loud NAS (mapped through SMB) onto Google Photos. If you want to find duplicate pictures, it is handy to select Tiles in the view option and sort the items by Size to search for the identical files.
