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).
Here's what I've found - I had uploaded the "pictures" folder from my computer to Dropbox which included the Photos library.photoslibrary folder (maybe the folder that apple uses to sync devices?). This folder has multiple copies of each photo I've taken (master file, original file, and sometimes edited file). When I view pictures using the "pictures tab" in dropbox, I end up being shown the multiple copies of all my photos from both the Camera Uploads files (automatically from my iPhone into dropbox) plus the Photo library copies of the images.
I'm not sure what to do about the issue though - I don't want to delete the photos library folder from dropbox without downloading it back to my computer (however, I don't know the file size and can't determine if it will fit on my hard drive or not). As a result, I feel that the dropbox "photos" tab is basically unusable for me as it displays way too many duplicates.
