I have searched the existing issues, both open and closed, to make sure this is not a duplicate report.

The bug

When uploading an image to an album and it already exists in your library, it throws an error and does not add it to the album.

Expected result: Silently find the original and add it to the album.

Your .env content

N/A

Reproduction steps

Add a lot of pictures you and your partner have taken over the years to you photo library.

Create a shared album with upload permissions to users with the link.

Allow your partner to upload to that album with that link.

She uploads a picture you already have in your library. It returns an error that the image is a duplicate and does not add it to the album.

It should kindly mention that the image is a dupe and add existing image to the album.

I can't reproduce this, it works as expected for me - though I need to refresh the page for it to show.

This is also working for me. Likely it has already been fixed.
