When I export, and then upload camera uploads, they're duplicated under the "Photos" tab.
Hello,
the “camera uploads” function is turned on, and I tried to make those automatically uploaded photos (which under “photo”) into another folder which named with time sequence/or name of event. However, every time when I selected those photos (under “photo”) which I want to put into folder A via exporting function, they will be duplicated afterwards under “photo”.
Is there a way to avoid the duplicated case?! Or is there other way to properly categorize the photos (under “photo” tab) into other folders?!
Thanks!

Hey cindy chen, thanks for posting here!
If you were referring to the Photos tab, it's normal to see duplicate files there, since this is the place where all of your photos are normally shown, including any copies you might have saved in different locations.
So, if you have the files in two different locations, it should be expected.
Out of curiosity, can you please send us a screenshot of a sample duplicate file and how it looks in your Camera uploads folder?
Let me know more!
