Duplicate files uploaded
I keep several folders on my Mac in which I store files. Periodically I upload those folder/files to Dropbox, but I don't want to have duplicates in Dropbox. How can I upload the folder and keep duplicates from being uploaded???
Hey FredH0725, thanks for posting to our Community.
At the moment, Dropbox doesn't have a way of detecting duplicate files.
If you have duplicate files in your account, you can manually search for them through the search bar in your All files page, in order to delete them.
I hope this clarifies things, but let me know if you have any questions.
