Google Drive allows files (and directories) with identical names to persist in the same parent folder as each one is assigned a unique 'id'.

When there are such duplicates, Google Drive for Windows distinguishes and shows them all by appending a number in parenthesis before the file type extension to the duplicates to distinguish them. For example:

test.txt
test (1).txt
test (2).txt

However, google-drive-ocamlfuse (as well as seemingly rclone) only show one of the file versions and it is not even clear what logic is used to determine which file to show.
I know there is a keep_duplicates configuration flag, but if I am understanding that correctly, such a flag determines how mv works and that it won't affect how existing files are displayed.

Is there a way to have google-drive-ocamlfuse show all the files similar to how they are shown in Windows?
