Hello,

Is there a way to avoid duplicated files when saving media files received in Signal to the local Android storage?

A few months ago I saved my Signal media for the first time to my internal storage. Today I wanted to update it because I wanted to use some of the files in a different application. I don't know why; I simply assumed already existing files wouldn't be saved again. I was wrong.

Now I ended up with almost all my media files duplicated, and I wonder if this is really the way it goes, or am I doing something wrong?

Cheers.
