Syncing from phone after using google take-out import
Hello friends! I'm in the process of migrating from google photos to immich. I love it so far! What a wonderful bit of technology.
I have successfully imported my google take-out data into immich. I want to enable immich sync from my iphone to Immich also, but I'm not sure what the right process is, and I want to avoid uploading duplicates.
On my phone I have:
1. Photos not in my google take-out (taken after I turned off google photos sync)
2. Photos in my google take-out (taken on this phone while using google photo sync)
3. Photos in my google take-out (taken on a different device but then downloaded to my phone via the google photos app)
If I enable immich sync will it know not to upload 2 and 3 to my server? Or will I need to manage duplicates in some fashion?
Thank you all!

Information
In order to be able to effectively help you, we need you to provide clear information to show what the problem is. The exact details needed vary per case, but here is a list of things to consider:
- Your docker-compose.yml and .env files.
- Logs from all the containers and their status (see above).
- All the troubleshooting steps you've tried so far.
- Any recent changes you've made to Immich or your system.
- Details about your system (both software/OS and hardware).
- Details about your storage (filesystems, type of disks, output of commands like fdisk -l and df -h).
- The version of the Immich server, mobile app, and other relevant pieces.
- Any other information that you think might be relevant.
Please paste files and logs with proper code formatting, and especially avoid blurry screenshots.
Without the right information we can't work out what the problem is. Help us help you ;)
If this ticket can be closed you can use the /close command, and re-open it later if needed.As it works now, pictures are compared with after uploading to the server, at which point duplicates are rejected
I would use #immich-go to bulk upload the takeout, and then turn on foreground uploading on your phone
The phone WILL upload everything, the server will reject it, and the phone will mark them as uploaded/duplicate
Client-side hashing to prevent uploads is coming, but not there yet
Great, thank you!
Appreciate it
