    First, by "MY ACCESS ID" and "MY_ID" I expect you mean your app key, and by "MY_PASSWORD" you mean your app secret, as this wouldn't work otherwise.

     

    Anyway, I just tried this out with an app with the app folder access type, and it did not create a duplicate app folder.

     

    Did you previously create, connect, and then delete an app registration, and then create another app with the same name and connect that new app? When you first connect an app with the app folder access type, Dropbox will create a new app folder for that app; it won't re-use any existing folders or app folders (e.g., for other apps) even if they happen to have the same name. If there is another folder with the same name, Dropbox will add "(1)", etc., to find a name that isn't already used when creating the new app folder.
