Dropbox Duplicate File Finder
Find exact duplicate files in Dropbox using provider content hashes and a review-first cleanup plan.
A real read-only Dropbox scan
Dropbox handles authorization. ClearCopies requests metadata, content, sharing and content-write scopes, which only a paid cleanup uses to move files. The scan compares exact byte size with Dropbox content_hash values returned with file metadata and never downloads file contents.
Nothing moves during the scan.

Tested with Dropbox namespace and content-hash rules
The provider tests exercise recursive listing, account-root namespace handling, path preservation, quota reporting, and Dropbox content_hash normalization. Scans only read; files move only in a paid cleanup.

- exact evidence
Dropbox team spaces and shared paths can change what a keeper means, so byte-identical groups remain reviewable instead of becoming automatic deletion instructions.

Frequently asked questions
Before you use this tool
Is the Dropbox Duplicate Finder free to use?
The Dropbox metadata scan and duplicate review are free. You can review every group before deciding whether to run a cleanup.
How accurate is the Dropbox Duplicate Finder?
ClearCopies requires matching byte size and matching Dropbox content_hash values returned by Dropbox for an exact group. Same-name or same-size files alone are not presented as safe removal candidates.
Can this tool delete or change my Dropbox files?
Not during the scan, which only reads. Files move only in a Dropbox cleanup you review and pay for, and only to the recoverable trash.
What should I do after using the Dropbox Duplicate Finder?
Review which copy to retain in every exact group. Only files with a returned Dropbox content_hash and byte size can enter an exact group; no file is changed during discovery.
