Photos upload to Dropbox as duplicates with ‘1’ added to the image title
- I’m using an iPhone 15 Pro Max. When I upload photos I take with my phone,
duplicates are created. This didn’t happen before. I turned on the ‘Upload directly from Camera’ mode, but later turned it off. Since then, duplicates have started appearing. I upload each photo manually.”

Thanks for the info. It's likely that there's something occurring in that app to cause there to be two images registered by the Dropbox mobile app. As to what that could be, I couldn't say.
I'd recommend contacting the developers of the app, just in case, to see if other users have experienced similar behavior.

No, as far as I can tell, it hasn’t happened. Also, it doesn’t happen with every photo I take with that app. It occurs randomly—sometimes it happens, sometimes it doesn’t.”

Has there been any recent updates to that app? Is it possible that it makes changes to your images in some form, which Dropbox detects as two separate images?

I’m using the timestamp camera. I’m not using any other filter or effect. But I haven’t had any issues when using the same app before.

Hi Mustafa01, thanks for joining the Community!
Are you using the default camera app on the phone?
Do you use any filters when taking photos on your device?
This will help me to assist further!
