Duplicate file name search

I've backed up images pictures and screenshots from my phone so many times. I really try to organize my Dropbox. What would be really helpful is a pre-organized table of contents list with all the most used subjects being made available. But even better would be the ability to search for all duplicate files names in my Dropbox so that I can delete them at the touch of a button.

I am underwhelmed by the Duplicate option. Do you think I could get this new feature and by when? 

And it would be nice to see a list of types of files or the best organization deconstruction for older dropboxes.

    Hi ncj​ - we really appreciate you reaching out about this!

    When you have the chance, you can try the feature that allows you to find duplicate files if it's available to the Dropbox plan you're currently on. It seems the closest thing to what you described, and if it's not exactly what you're looking for, please reach back out with more details.

    Thank you!
