Dropbox Community ModeratorHi there pesas, thanks for reaching out to us here!
To merge the contents of your folders, it wouldn't be something that you can do automatically through Dropbox I'm afraid.
This is something that you could do perhaps on a connected computer, as your OS should have the function to detect if files are the same and give you the options to replace, make a copy of or not move duplicate files.
Another suggestion would be to have a look for some third party apps that could help achieve this automatically for you, instead of having to do it manually. You can do this with a quick web search.
Sorry that I can't be of much help with this, but please do let me know if you have any questions.
Thanks!

Not Happy with Dropbox. Please fix this so I dont go elsewhere
