I see duplicate images in a shared folder.

Greetings,
I'll explain the problem briefly:
I shared a folder containing images with a person, everything is fine, the folder is regularly viewed on the smartphone however, every thumbnail is duplicated...how to fix it?
Thanks for your time...

    Image helps, thank you!

     

    Basically that means they have those images saved twice on their device - once in your shared folder and once somewhere else. Dropbox doesn't differentiate between that so it will show everything up on the Photos tab even if its duplicate or triplicate.

      I'll try to be as clear as possible:
      it is a folder where there are only images, a catalog of images that I shared with a person who has an Android smartphone;
      this person can see the folder with all the images well but in Photo mode every thumbnail of the images is duplicated and I don't know how to fix it.
      I hope I have explained this problem well, I will also add a screenshot of the smartphone in question to help you understand the situation:


      This is very annoying and I don't understand why:
      First of all, thanks for answering me and for your time, I really appreciate it...
