Every file uploaded to FOREVER Storage® is assigned a unique ID based on attributes like file size, dimensions, and EXIF data.
-
Duplicate Prevention (Default: ON):
- FOREVER® checks the unique IDs of new uploads against existing files.
- If duplicates are detected, they will not be added to your account.
- You can review duplicates by clicking “View Original” to confirm details like file name, album placement, and tags.
-
Turning Duplicate Prevention OFF:
- Allows all files to upload, even if they match existing ones.
📌 Note: Duplicate Prevention does not apply when copying files from another user’s account.
On the FOREVER® Mobile Apps
Duplicate detection also applies when uploading via file selection, Auto Sync, or Device Back Up:
- A green banner will indicate files that are already in your FOREVER Storage®.
- Auto Sync and Back Up will automatically compare unique IDs and prevent re-uploading duplicates.
This ensures your FOREVER Storage® remains organized and free of unnecessary duplicates while preserving every memory.
