### 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.

### Making your own client_id ###

When you use rclone with Google drive in its default configuration you
