Duplicate Box folders

Recently we noticed that we have multiple folders sharing same name in our Box account. Even though Box does not allow editing and naming other folders as "Images" or "Data Files" we somehow ended up with duplicate folders there. We don't know how it happened though - most likely through API calls.

1. Is this a bug?
2. How should we handle duplicate folders? Is folder ID is the only way to differentiate between those folders? Do we have other options?



P.S. We noticed that naturally it is possible that multiple users can share a folder with the same name. In this case, at least, we can differentiate them by owner's user ID.
