Experience with Uploading iCloud Shared Albums - Duplication?
I have some Shared Albums in my iCloud Library of events together with friends. Those shared albums include my own photos (which are also stored in full resolution in my own iCloud library) and then also photos that my friends added. iCloud Shared Albums have this (annoying) resolution limit, so it shrinks all photos added and also strips some of the Exif Metadata.
So from my Understanding:
iCloud Library contains Photo1_Original.heic
iCloud Shared Album -> I add Photo1_Original -> it becomes Photo1_Shrinked.jpg
My question: If I select to backup an iCloud Shared Album in the Immich iOS App, after i already backed up my library, will it then upload Photo1_Shrinked and create a duplicate?
