Dropbox StaffHey REL_IT, you mentioned that when checking both the app and online in your All files page, you can see the folder as is.
However, can you clarify more about the "view only that's causing the issue"?
Do you mean that the screenshot you attached above is when you try to click on the shared link?
If you could walk me through the steps that you follow, that'd be great.
Yes when i click on the view only link , you can see the duplicate files and folder that are being generated incorrectly whereas the local and online desktop app has correct folder.
Please note that the link is always loading and freezing the browser with these dups.
note: refer to the screenshot uploaded earlier.

Hey REL_IT - sorry to jump in here, but have you tried clearing your browser's cache or using another browser since you first noticed this?
TO reconfirm I deleted the link and created a new view only link and cleared all time cache from both basic and advanced. Tried to load the link and its the same issue. Please check the screenshots. (Duplicates and also no action on clicking the folders as well).

This might have to do with the fact that the folder you're trying to share is generated by your own app and those folders are probably temp folders with the needed files for the app to run properly.
Can you let us know some additional information about the app you developed and what you'd like to accomplish?
Thanks a bunch REL_IT
