Hey KK75, sorry to hear you're having issues with this.

 

Can you please clarify if you're using the website to upload your files or if you're doing it via the desktop app or the mobile app?

 

When was the last time you got this pop up approximately? 

 

Any additional information is more than welcome!

    I do it on my mobile mostly from email attachments.
    It always tells me it’s uploaded but the duplicate warning has not popped up for couple months now.
    Thanks for your help!

      Hi KK75, could you clarify exactly how you're uploading the file to Dropbox via your mobile device, step-by-step, and where you used to see this message?
