From dev docs it looks like file integrity (and thereby duplicate check) is done with CBC-MAC:

"File integrity is verified using chunked CBC-MAC. Chunk sizes start at 128 KB and increase to 1 MB, which is a reasonable balance between space required to store the chunk MACs and the average overhead for integrity-checking partial reads."
