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).

Try this If your iTunes or iPhone is clean you can delete everything in your DB file and then sync again with your devices (iCloud, mac/pc, iPhone etc).  If on the other hand you have duplicates on your devices as well the same in DB, do this: Download an app from the app store that detects duplicates, run the proper steps using the app of your liking, turn off auto syncing with DB before starting this process.  after deleting duplicates from your device login to DB and (keeping auto sync turned off in DB) and delete all from DB.  Then turn back on DB and sync from cleaned up device.

 

I may have made this sound confusing. sorry
