Need to see if your shared folder is taking up space on your dropbox 👨💻? Find out how to check here.

Hello Dropbox community, help support this post to get this feature on the urgent list 😎 we all will benefit!
Can the dropbox development team add a feature in the file search that helps users find and resolve duplicated folders files?
The ask: the ability to select two folders and the dropbox system scans the contents and highlights the duplicated files
The unmet need: No ability to search for duplicated files archived on the dropbox cloud
Direct benefit to users: dropbox community saves countless hours in productivity gains - vs the current alternative - download all the files and use a 3rd party software to resolve the duplicates.
Benefit to dropbox: optimization of space, reduction of load on the systems, less data to carry and backup.
The other problem that dropbox would be solving - for all the users that are dealing with archives crammed with duplicated data due to the sync conflict issues of the past.. The community can finally erase old skeletons without the risk of losing important data.
I echo WogOne's desire/need to be able to quickly and easily discover duplicates. I couldn't have said it better!
Function to search and delete duplicated files in ddifferent directories !
Would be nice to have an automation task for this as well. So that when a files get uploaded to a folder, depending on your rule, it either deletes it, or moves it to ie. a duplicates folder.
Go go go for this feature
Please allow to search all folders for duplicates.
Thank you all for your support to push this feature! Spread the word!
This feature should also work without having to select folders. I only use dropbox for uploads from my phone so I constantly have duplicates depending on which Apps I used to share a picture.
Very nice way to save space
