Ah this is indicative of a ghost file aka you have missing files on telegram side but on the database it appears it's there when it isn't. Something must've happened to cause the file to not upload but be added to your database.

This was resolved with the latest teldrive versions sometime ago, fixing file upload checks and such.

Anyways to resolve this problem, you're going to have to use this script to manually check and remove such ghost files from your database. Instructions on how to use it and requirements to install is on the discord here: https://discord.com/channels/1142377485737148479/1260921464350179399/1261145708392874064

(Make sure to join the teldrive discord first).

Here's the link to the python script: https://gist.github.com/danieleg1/1427c2a535b4dd4a6775e0fa82431400

Make sure to read those instructions so you don't accidently delete any files that you deem important! Otherwise you might end on doing something you might regret!

I hope this helps ya out! ^^

Hello. Thank you for your advice. However, I'm not familiar with programming, so I'm not confident about executing the script properly. For now, I've downgraded to version 1.5.3, and it's working normally.... I will join the Discord and carefully read the information provided there. Thank you.

had the exact same issue and the script deleted a few files of mine. this project has lost some of its credibility as a cloud storage project but i guess thats what you get for using free* cloud storage.
