I'm getting conflicted copies of my Photos Library on Mac
Hi
I had set up my mac so that my Photo library accessed and opened my files on Dropbox Back up. However, since Apple stopped users being able to sync Photos with Dropbox mid year, I have some photo libraries with a back up with over 3000 'conflicted copies' folders (see screen of the beginning with original folders I assume).
I have now stopped accessing the photo libraries in Back up via my Photos app in Mac but how do I find my original photo files amongst all the conflicted folders?
thanks

Hi drjoncallow, thanks for bringing this to our attention.
Unfortunately, you would need to manually check these folders for the original photo files, as it is no longer supported to store your Photos library in the Dropbox folder, when using File Provider.
Currently, there isn't a way to detect duplicate files or images via Dropbox, though there may be some third party apps or services that might be able to assist.
I'll leave this thread open for other users to comment their suggestions.
