So I have imported around 400GB of photos from Google Takeout using immich-go into my Immich. They were up to 29.3.2025. All looks fine and I was doing some more testing. Yesterday I started backup of my phone photos in the Immich mobile app. Today I noticed the upload folder is around 80GB bigger! I wonder why such a big increase? The photos and videos I created since march are only about 9,5GB total!
Unfortunately my suspicion was right and I see that everything is now doubled! Photos from immich-go import are alongside backup which was done via immich mobile app and they just differ by size (because I have google photos set to save quota mode of course)!
Why does this happen and why didn't backup process just replace the same photos with the bigger files for example? That would make sense! It's really stupid to simply leave everthing doubled. Is this normal and immich-go is just incompatible with Immich? What can I do?
