![]() Here is how the CDF application finds duplicate photos, songs and all files from the cloud storage: Will take you to CDF main application area and Drive addition pages. ![]() ![]() The process of creating an account and removing duplicates is fast and secure (256-bit AES encryption applied, official APIs of Google Drive, Dropbox, OneDrive and Box used). Be assured, CDF will not store your files - it even doesn't know the content of the files - and passwords. You can create a Cloud Duplicate Finder's account without a credit card.

So the script does not handle this case correctly and can delete unaffected files.Locate the Horizontal Lines on the top-right of the Google Chrome and click to view settings and other options. All but one photos will be selected for deletion. The script does not know about them and probably will put them in one group. The script suggests keeping a photo with a larger resolution, but it is only a suggestion that must be checked. Photo groups must be visually inspected before actual deleting because false positives are very common.įalse positives for the script can include:Ĭropped photos - actual and cropped photos will have the same created time. So the only way to clean up duplicates was to group photos by their created time or filename with small variations and keep only one photo from the group by the heuristic criteria (photo resolution or size). And the last problem was that a filename does not always reflect created time of the photo, which is encoded to EXIF and can be extracted only by API. ![]() This case became worse when Google Photo applied compression to photos, so I could not distinguish photos just by their size. Somehow they broke their algorithm for detecting whether the local photo was uploaded, so the Google Photo contained thousands of photos but with names that may be the same or differ by a second. I wrote it to handle the case when the Google Photo application started to repeatedly upload local files from my Android phone. It’s up to specialized photo tools or organizers. The script cannot help with a more general case when it’s needed to find photo duplicates based on their content. ![]() The script solves the very specific problem with repeated uploading same files. ![]()
