Corrupted Files
I have a copies of photos stored in a bunch of different places. Some of them are super corrupted. It is very possible that some copies of the same photo are corrupted and some are not. My concern is that I will upload the same photo 2 times. The first time it will be corrupted so half of it will be grey. The second photo is not corrupted but it is rejected by the server because the metadata is the same. Is this a valid concern? Will it detect that they are different and upload both so I can delete the corrupted one and be left with the good photo?

A corrupt file means bytes are different/wrong/missing. Different bytes = different hash, so both should be uploaded.
