Apparently this is happening on Windows shares while exposed on VM Linux Guest. A weakness .... "wooooh" 👻

Using GFile as an identifier has the same weaknesses as using a path in that there may be multiple aliases for the same file. For instance, hard or soft links may cause two different GFiles to refer to the same file. Other possible causes for aliases are: case insensitive filesystems, short and long names on FAT/NTFS, or bind mounts in Linux
