How to Clean Duplicate Photos from Dropbox?

Clone Files Checker provides for an intelligent and easy-to-use mechanism to help users get rid of duplicates photos from their Dropbox account. The whole process is very straightforward, yet highly important as it results in the better organization of data as well as recovery of precious storage space for the user on their Dropbox account as well as their computer. The whole process goes as follows:

Download and install Clone Files Checker on your computer
Launch the software and select the Cloud Scan tab
Select Dropbox, enter your credentials and click Sign in
Once the data has been loaded (this process takes a while to conclude), select the folders which you want to scan
Click Start Search and patiently wait for the whole thing to be over
Once you get the scan results, click the Select Duplicates button to select between newest, oldest, most modified or least modified files to be retained (from every duplicate group)
And the final step requires you to click Select Action and choose between deleting the duplicates or moving them to a folder CFC will specifically create for this purpose
