Hey rroscoe, I hope you're having a good day so far!

Could you just try toggling off and then on again the option for camera uploads within the desktop app to see if that does the trick?

When using camera uploads, it shouldn't upload files that have been upload before and it should also retain the date created too.

Let me know if this helps!
