Too many files - how to analyze?

[ryan-adler]

Describe the issue

Similar to #291, in my shared library, I have (according to Photos app) 306225 photos and videos. Now, if I check the properties of my downloaded files, I have 323723 files (not counting folders). The logs claim remote state: 325501 assets. Now, I'm not sure why there are so many more in the remote state and backup, but I also have no way of checking if actually all the files were downloaded (it seems many are missing, compared to remote state?). How can I analyze the folder to determine where the extra ~17k files come from?

How to reproduce the behavior?

Something to remember: iCloud Photos can have multiple assets for each photo/video. In case you have non-destructive edits, the current 'edited' file as well as the original will be downloaded. My guess would therefore be, that this discrepancy comes from there.

Keep an eye out for #364, which should improve the completeness of the backup, as well as the larger initiative in #354 which will probably make this a little bit more clear.
