I have already over 2000 collisions and checked
it, that the files are NOT the same.
You mean you have 2000 collisions out of the checksums of 130
million different files? That can't be right.

If you have 2000 collisions after 130 million different files (or
even if you have two collisions), something is almost certainly
wrong with your code, unfortunately.
Or Michelle is storing a bunch of duplicate images.
