View, download, and export
Need support with viewing, downloading, and exporting files and folders from your Dropbox account? Find help from the Dropbox Community.
Hi,
When downloading a zip folder (via both the browser and Python SDK), the resulting folder contains both the correct sub-folders and files, but also a duplicate of the parent folder where all sub-folders are lowercased and empty, e.g. If I zip a folder called 'FOLDER', I get:
FOLDER (correct)
/ SUBFOLDER (correct)
/ FILE (correct)
folder (shouldn't be here)
/ subfolder (shouldn't be here and has no children)
I think this is related to this issue
Any thoughts?
Thank you
I just tried with a windows 10 computer and its default zip extraction and it works (no duplication)
Sure you can reach me at my dropbox email.

I had the same issue quite a while back. Eventuelly we found out it was the app called BetterZip i used for unzipping. If you use Keka or Unarchive Utility i wont happen.
What app did you use for the Zip extraction? I dont believe i saw you guys talk about that
