Removal of duplicate photos in my dropbox photo library
I somehow uploaded several hundred photos from my iphone to dropbox. Not sure how I did it, but now I see a lot of duplicate photos in dropbox (carousel).
Hi, Hap!
Thanks for writing in our Forum!
Unfortunately, there's currently no way to automatically detect and delete duplicate photos. The only thing you can do is to remove them manually from your account. Either via the Dropbox or Carousel website or via the Dropbox desktop application.
If you want to make sure that you remove all the duplicate photos you can use the following steps:
1) Go to www.carousel.com (please log into your account if you haven't already)
2) Navigate to the item that appears to be duplicated
3) Click on the little check mark icon overlying the thumbnail of the duplicate (which you can find on the top right of each thumbnail)
4) Click on the three dots icon on the top right of the screen and choose "Show in folder"
5) Note the location of this file in your Dropbox
6) Repeat steps 3 to 5 for another instance of the item that appears to be duplicated
7) Delete the redundant copies from their location
Hope this helps!
