iOS 11 uploading duplicates

After uograding to iOS11 all photos are being uploaded again. Since Dropbox uploads and stores duplicates ‘by (lack of proper) design’ this is a problem.

After my iphone7 has been updated with IOS 11 (ipad has the same effect as well), my photos are set more than once. In some cases, I have 3 or 4 copies of the same photo file in the folder Camera Uploads.

I don't know why, by configurations are the same I use for 3 or 4 years.

I have an iphone 7 and when I connect to dropbox, it's uploading my photos multiple times. I now have 5 and 6 copies of MANY photos.

Any help is appreciated.
