Duplicate files on Mac
Hi, Recently Dropbox requested an updated and now it created two copies of my song files in my DJ software. There seems to be a replica location for all my files called /Library/CloudStorage, in addi...
As the CloudStorage folder is the correct location, deleting the shortcut would only affect that shortcut itself, and not the files it points to.

Dropbox StaffHi HongStarr, thanks for bringing this to our attention.
It looks like your Dropbox account is migrating from the old Dropbox folder location to the new CloudStorage location.
Do you have any remaining files in the old location on your device, or do you still have both Dropbox folders visible?
This will help me to assist further.
No, only one visible as showed in the screenshot.

It's the same location. But why are there two directories? The same old one and CloudStorage. How to follow to the CloudStorage directory?
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?
