Abstract
A method comprises computing a hash value for at least one file of a plurality of files in connection with a file tiering operation of the plurality of files from a source storage location to a target storage location. The hash value is compared to one or more hash values corresponding to one or more other files of the plurality of files. Based at least in part on the comparing, a determination is made whether the hash value is the same as any of the one or more hash values. The at least one file is identified as a duplicate file in response to an affirmative determination. The target storage location comprises a cloud storage platform.
