Uploading from mulitple Apple Devices?
i don't understand why my iphone keeps resetting the count... i left it to upload in foreground for 5+ hours and it went down to 15k remainder then i had to take a call, opened the app after and it's back to this count... in the meantime i deleted 30k duplicates from the browser. (upload from last night) not sure why it does this.
I uploaded my entire media library using my iPad.
Does it not check for some kind of metadata before uploading everything again? and if not, why does it not even remember what duplicates it deleted rather than uploading everything every single time?
photo 1 uploaded from ipad
photo 1 uploaded from iphone
duplicates detected
iphone photo deduplicated
next sync, it looks like the iphone uploads photo 1 again so it shows in the duplicates again

and again

Why’d you have two different tickets for similar issues? You can close the other one and we can continue here
Can you share the version of the mobile app and your server?
To clear the cache used by the app, you can go within Settings inside the app -> Sync status -> Clear File Cache
i don't have 2. I just commented on the other guy's open issue since that made me look at the storage. But that is not my problem. The file sync is my problem.
app version 1.143.1 b226
server 1.144.1
Can you share the mobile app logs?
