Reuploads files that were uploaded with another tool

I've been looking for a good way to upload my large image collection to google drive. A couple months ago I uploaded many gb worth of images, first by dragging folders into the drive ui in the browser, then with skicka. I like this tool better though. Unforunately when I ask it to push my whole pictures directory it now wants to re-upload all the same pictures.

If I ask it to upload a single picture, it claims the file is already there and nothing needs to be done. If I ask it to upload the containing folder it thinks every file has changed, including the one that I tried individually. If I let it upload them it creates a second file with the same name next to the ones that are already there. The only difference should be the upload time, but otherwise would be the same, byte for byte.

I get this behavior when I just do a drive push (not using a different program to upload), everything uploads, and then try the same push command again, it wants to upload most of the same files again!
