Can I remove duplicate photos from Photos tab and change creation date?

I have several duplicates of photos uploaded to my Dropbox, and at this point I’m not interested in deleting them individually. Is there any way to keep all the duplicates from showing up in my Photos tab? Also, I have several hundred photos that were pulled from an old drive and in the process, had their creation date changed to Jan 2024. They ALL show up in my Photos tab as January. Is it possible to edit their dates to reflect when they were actually taken?

    Hi there, cpond0723, thanks for reaching out to us!

     

    The Photos tab is the place where all the photos in your account show up, so you'd have to delete the duplicates from your account, for them to be removed from the Photos tab as well.

     

    And as for editing the creation date of your photos, I'm afraid there's no way to edit them through Dropbox.

     

    You'll either need to use the options available in your operating system, or a third-party service/app.

     

    If you have any questions, let us know.
