iCloud & Dropbox backup and will they result in duplicated copies?

I have two iOS devices and have enabled iCloud, which results in both devices having the same photo album. If I have photo backup enabled on both devices, will the same photos be backed up twice in Dropbox, resulting in two copies?

    Hey Miziha, welcome to our Community! 

     

    When you say "photo backup enabled" are you referring to our Backup feature, or camera uploads feature? 

     

    I'm asking, because I need to make sure we're on the same page here before I provide all the necessary info on my end. 

     

    Keep me posted, and we'll take it from there!
