Get_Image_files problem

I’ve been using fast.ai for image classification for years, and I’m running into some new problems right now.

I use the search_images_ddg function and store the results to my Google Drive. This seems to be still working perfectly.

I have two new serious issues I have not seen before. First, it seems like get_image_files is not working correctly. It keeps returning image paths to files that do not exist in my drive. Has anyone else seen this? I have not found any similar issues in the forum.

It will tell me that an image in my folder causes an error, and that image does not exist in my google drive. Yet, if I call get_image_files, it lists the image as present in my folder.

Has anyone else who works with their Google Drive seen anything similar?

Less importantly but still not ideal, when I try and build an image classification model from these images, many of my .jpg images that appear completely fine in my Google Drive are throwing UnidentifiedImageErrors when they are brought up in show_batch or during training. This has never been an issue before.

Thanks
