    The only way I could see them flagging potentially illegal files on the server-side if they don’t have access to the cleartext file would be through the filesize, and that would lead to too many false-positives. On the client-side it could be done through a local checksum against a denylist (compared locally for privacy reason) before uploading, but that could be easily defeated.
