Hi
I'm facing a problem regarding "unique" file id. I got 2 completely different files that have exactly the same id. What is the purpose of this "unique" id if it is not unique.
I have a business account.
In v2 API communication webpage available here it is clearly written:

File IDs
Developers have often asked us to support the notion of a file ID: a unique identifier for a file that remains constant even when the file is moved. We’re pleased to announce that API v2 includes this highly-requested feature. Developers can now use file IDs instead of paths to make sure their apps don’t lose track of a file when it’s moved by a user.
Why files API returns only one result while there are 2 files identified with specified id... I am skeptical about the reliability of the result of certain requests (see below)
I'm really confused because all my custom developments are based on this unique id.
This is what get_metadata request returns for the 2 files (I have plenty of examples):
