Good point (I’m assuming you’re right here and it trusts file metadata and doesn’t read files it’s already backed up?)

It would still happen with the first backup - or first connection of the cloud drive - though, which isn’t a great post-setup new user experience. It probably drove complaints and cancellations.

I feel like I’ve accidentally started defending the concept of not backing up these folders, which I didn’t really intend to. I’d also want these backed up. I’m just thinking out loud about the reasons the decision was made.
