Dropbox export folder disaster

Hello! I recently did a shoot and went to export the files to dropbox in groups. In the catalog, I grouped each shot by selecting the ones I wanted to output, selected the recipe, set the output location, and individual root folder for each group and clicked "process".... thinking that each individual group that I selected and executed that process for would output into *that* folder chosen for each group.

The result was a spaghetti nightmare of folders. First C1 created a user>XXX>XXX>XXX 12 folders deep in the dropbox. THEN instead of doing each group... as I selected a new group and duplicated the efforts creating a new folder and output / root location for those new selected files... it would put the files already in process into those folders... it was crazy.

What happened? Do I have to wait for one export process to complete before starting another one?

Thx.

Hi Alex,

What happens if you use the same recipe and subfolder structure, but point it to a local non-Dropbox folder?

And, could you perhaps publish some screenshot of your recipe settings? As you use Dropbox, you can put the screenshot in the Public folder, and publish the links in a post.

Something in there doesn't seem to make sense.
I think you just need to compare the Local Dropbox location with the Account. My guess is that there are more than one recipe's or some type of permissions issue in accessing the folder.

When I set up my dropbox, the Dropbox location is in the shared folder and there's a dedicated folder to sync. No problems in any capacity.
