Why are my photos being duplicated in a different aspect ratio?
When transferring photos to Dropbox from the iPhone, it duplicates the photos, changing the 16:9 format to the 4:3 format. What is happening?

Good morning.
I'm not using any filter. I take photos in standard mode. And the problem persists. When I go to Drop, there are always 2 photos, one of which is cut off from the sides.

1 year agoCould you clarify what you mean by 'standard mode'? By default, images should be 16:9, and Dropbox can't change your images in this manner. It will only upload what is generated by the phone, which would mean the images could be 4:3, and then the original unfiltered 16:9 image is also uploaded.
Do the filenames have different dates and times, or are they exactly the same?
Could you attach a screenshot showing what you see when you take a photo on your phone, while hiding any personal info?

Please could you attach a screenshot showing your camera settings showing the default photo size you have enabled on your device.
