if this is the case than it is not disaster - you end up with all files in your destination.
And based on linked post there are no really duplicates at all - if you run:
rclone lsf "gp-pers:media/all/2023-04-03 {ACaye7iGrO1t7u989lGCPki_ZN_QOu2SyWKIU-iopewihbHcMiNgFLH4IM-VoDuHeyv878MwC7nV1_4HY2B7kQ6Xb4QkfM0wUg}.jpg"
you see one file only?
And you can then check in Photos:
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.
Real duplicates are shown on gdrive:
rclone lsf drive:test.txt
test.txt
test.txt
