Duplicate object found in source - ignoring - Google Photos

Unfortunately it looks like old problem without proper solution yet:

Rclone dedupe not working with Google Photos?

What is the problem you are having with rclone? I use rclone to copy from Google Photos nightly to my NAS using the following command: rclone copy gp-julia:media/by-year /photos_backup --fast-list --verbose --transfers 10 In the rclone output, there are a hundreds of Duplicate object found in source - ignoring messages. Interestingly enough, if I search Google Photos for a sample of the filenames listed, I only ever get one photo or video back. There doesn't appear to be duplicates. Therefore…

Might be related to limitations of Google Photos public API.
