I’ve been using cloud storage for years, and lately, I’m noticing a lot of duplicate files taking up unnecessary space. Managing duplicates in the cloud feels trickier than on a local drive because of syncing across multiple devices. What are the best practices to keep cloud storage organized and free from duplicates? Are there specific tools that work well with Google Drive, Dropbox, or OneDrive? Also, how can I prevent duplicates from being created during syncing or backups? Would love to hear your advice and any tips for keeping cloud files clean and efficient!

Cloud duplicates are a real hassle! I use the software DuplicateFilesDeleter to scan synced folders before they upload—super helpful for avoiding clutter across devices. Best practice: keep consistent folder structures and avoid syncing the same content from multiple locations. Also, check sync settings to prevent auto-duplicating files. Staying organized upfront really helps keep your cloud storage clean and efficient!
