### Duplicated files ###
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Sometimes, for no reason I've been able to track down, drive will
|
||||||
|
duplicate a file that rclone uploads. Drive unlike all the other
|
||||||
|
remotes can have duplicated files.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Duplicated files cause problems with the syncing and you will see
|
||||||
|
messages in the log about duplicates.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Use `rclone dedupe` to fix duplicated files.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Note that this isn't just a problem with rclone, even Google Photos on
|
||||||
|
Android duplicates files on drive sometimes.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Rclone appears to be re-copying files it shouldn't ###
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
There are two possible reasons for rclone to recopy files which
|
||||||
|
haven't changed to Google Drive.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The first is the duplicated file issue above - run `rclone dedupe` and
|
||||||
|
check your logs for duplicate object or directory messages.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The second is that sometimes Google reports different sizes for the
|
||||||
|
Google Docs exports which will cause rclone to re-download Google Docs
|
||||||
|
for no apparent reason. `--ignore-size` is a not very satisfactory
|
||||||
|
work-around for this if it is causing you a lot of problems.
