Duplicate folder name created via API
Hi,
We are using Dropbox API (C# library) to create folder structure. Here is API we use:
await dropboxClient.Files.CreateFolderV2Async(folderPath);
Somehow it created same folder name like the screenshot below, is there anyway to prevent duplicate folder name and also do not create folder it it exists?

It shouldn't be possible to create a folder with the exact same path of an existing folder. I just tested that behavior and confirmed that the API is returning a 'path/conflict/folder' error in that case for me.
Can you check if you have any unprintable/invisible characters in one of those paths? (For example, the Unicode "zero width space", etc.)
Alternatively, perhaps it was a display or caching issue with the Dropbox web site. If you refresh the site, do you still see a duplicate?
