Drop box Randomly creating sub-folders, even after deleting them and syncing to the PC/Phone

Drop box Randomly creating sub-folders, even after deleting them and syncing to the PC/Phone

I noticed in one of my main folders that within the last few weeks drop box has been randomly creating sub-folders (example: 1e, 1e, 1f..etc) and no matter how many times I delete them and re-syncs them to all my devices it still creates them again a day later.  Anyone know how to stop this from happening?

That's not something Dropbox does, so something else is the cause. Use version history and your Events page to see if you can determine which device is adding them, then look on that device for the cause.
