A two way sync is not currently supported. Attempting to export data to the same
folder that is also being watched by the Ente app will result in undefined
behaviour (e.g. duplicate files, export stalling etc).

## Why is my export size larger than my backed-up size in Ente?

One possible reason could be that you have files that are in multiple different
albums. Whenever a file is backed-up to Ente in multiple albums it will still
count only once towards the total storage in Ente. However, during export that
file will be downloaded multiple times to the different folders corresponding to
said albums, causing the total export size to be larger.
