    Dropbox changes affecting Reunion family files

    For years I've used Dropbox for a few Reunion family files, and keep them all stored locally.

    Recently, Dropbox informed it now fully uses Apple File Provider; the local Dropbox instance was moved to a "Location" in the Finder sidebar.

    So it doesn't seem coincidence that when I opened one of them today, Dropbox said storage exceeded my limit. I was previously allowed 3.25~ 3.5 GB, but the local folder is now 4.75 GB, and contains 33,837 JPEGs totaling 2.14 GB — all with yesterday's date as both 'Date Created' and 'Date Modified'. They are coded, so I copied them to another local folder in case that matters.

    The originals files are safe separately, they're the multimedia folders Reunion uses as source.

    Are the singly-listed Dropbox files duplicates of Reunion's internal thumbnails? Can they be deleted from the Dropbox folder?
