Duplicated iOS camera uploads

Seriously DropBox can you please allocate some resources to solving this issue. Either give users the ability to merge duplicates photos or bulk delete them. You’re such a clever bunch put this on you...

Hi there, santiagostips and thanks for reaching out to us.

 

Are you perhaps using any third party apps to edit and save your photos?

 

If you check the metadata for an example duplicate image, does it look exactly the same (same size etc.) as the original?

Hi there. No, I'm not using any editing. Even a screenshot I took 5 minutes ago now has 6 duplicate uploads...

    Hi santiagostips, do all the duplicates have the same size? 

     

    What about the files' metadata, as Hannah asked? That'll help us have an insight, as to whether or not the files are completely identical.
