[Bug]: Duplication in Google Drive seems to cause unknown error messages

Bug Description

Apparently, it is possible to duplicate names of directories (and possibly files) in Google Drive, which shouldn't even be possible in a file system (and for obvious reasons). However, Celeste lacks any sort of accommodation for this and will throw an error that crashes the app.

I noticed this problem when setting up Ubuntu and needed a replacement for the default Google Drive sync (since the KDE project's own API account has reportedly been banned). Everything was working great until it hit an entry in my account with the name Takeout (which was used twice). Since no local file system on Earth can handle this (again, for obvious reasons) I got the unknown error crash.

Installation Source

Snap

What version of Celeste are you using?

0.8.3

Storage Provider
