The shortcut from the Users folder and the shortcut from the new Dropbox folder under Locations look exactly the same (see screenshot). Are you sure that if I delete one, it won't delete the other?

I believe I figured out the problem but not the solution.
Since the Dropbox MacOS migration (https://help.dropbox.com/installs/macos-faq), Rekordbox is reading the new location as new files.
Because when I drag to reload a Playlist with the exact same files from the exact same location (see screenshots – 1&2), usually Rekordboz will ask whether if “you would like to add duplicates or skip them?” (See screenshot – 3). And I choose ‘skip’ it will just add new files.
But in this case, it adds the same files and doesn’t recognise duplicates for whatever reason - perhaps due to the move from Dropbox to a new hidden location? (See screenshots – 4&5).
Even if I delete the files from the Playlist and reload them, the copy is still in Redkorbox’s ‘Collection’. Unless I choose the option to ‘Remove from Collection’.
Therefore, the Dropbox MacOS migration seems to be causing issues with Rekordbox compatibility. How to solve this?

As I'm not familiar with that app, I'm not sure what I'm looking at. In general, since the migration, there is a shortcut from the old location to the new one, so existing apps could still technically refer to the old location, which redirects it to the new CloudStorage folder.
\n\n
It's possible that your app might not follow the redirect correctly, or understand that there are two folders. You could try removing the shortcut from the Users folder to prevent this in future.
\n\n
This won't affect your files, since they're already in the correct, new location. You'll need to remove the duplicate files from your app, however.
