Uploading partner photos/videos and avoiding duplication?

I'm about to start uploading my partner's photos and videos with immich-go from her Google Takeout archive. My plan is to upload everything to her own immich account. Is there a way to have duplicate detection happen in some form before or during upload to avoid duplicate assets being saved to the server?

I see https://github.com/immich-app/immich/discussions/4542 exists.

Since I'm planning on uploading to her own immich account, with an API key generated from that account, I'm assuming that the default behavior will be to do an entirely independent upload that will have no awareness of the files I have uploaded?

Should I just have her share my immich account? Would that be simpler? (And I would get deduplication automatically during the upload?)
