Dropbox: Find Duplicates in Your Cloud Storage with Ease

Has an urgent need for Dropbox space ever made you delete files that you actually need? This is a common problem a lot of us face.

Since cloud storage is a necessity today and the storage options are somewhat limited, we have to be very careful what we upload, store, and download.

But what if we could tell you that you can free up a significant amount of space without deleting a single file you need? No, we're not encouraging you to purchase a paid Dropbox plan - all you need to do is delete duplicate files from your Dropbox.

Easy Duplicate Finder will help you find duplicates in Dropbox and delete them in one go.

Here is how you can do that.

Dropbox: Find Duplicates with a Duplicate File Finder

It's common knowledge that we use cloud storage to store and retrieve data wherever, whenever. Now, if you've been using your free Dropbox account for a long time, chances are it's running out of storage. I'm sure you've been getting popups encouraging you to purchase a paid plan.

The good news is that you don't have to - Easy Duplicate Finder will clean out duplicates from your Dropbox in no time.

What EDF does is simple - it asks you for access to your cloud Dropbox account thanks to the special Dropbox scan mode and checks your storage for duplicates - useless copies of files that are just sitting ducks.

The software uses a special hash checking algorithm to identify duplicate files, so you can't go wrong and delete useful files by accident. It will only mark for deletion files that have multiple copies.

EDF uses very little bandwidth, too, because it doesn't have to download any of your files - all the work is done in the cloud.
