Dropbox is infinitely duplicating all the files in the folder
Video of the issue [removed shared link to prevent excess traffic]
This is solely a visual issue, the files themselves aren't actually created. As soon as I refresh the page, the files are gone...

2 years agoI’m afraid I can’t share any folders either, starlightof.
If you have a Dropbox account of your own, can you create a new folder perhaps, upload 2-3 files and then create a shared link for it? If you view this link via incognito mode, while NOT being signed into your Dropbox account, do you see the same thing?

Just tested it, it's just fine for my own folder.
There's also a completely different folder from the same user that shared the initial folder with me, and it also has the same issue. Perhaps it's somehow related to them having a LOT of video files in it? 100-150+ videos? Can't test this with my own folder as I just don't have that many videos to upload to Dropbox, unfortunately.
There are also more of my colleagues who are also experiencing this issue today. For some, changing the browser and clearing cache worked, but once again, it didn't work for me.
