That's still a shortcoming in the current setup. The API does not yet allow us to "track" a file as it is moved around on disk. So the best thing we can do is upload it from its new destination, keeping the original version where it is (we want to avoid guesswork and ensure no data is ever lost). We can likely optimize this. Would love to see the API evolve so that we can keep persistent file handles even after moving and renaming (including parent folders).
