When I upload multiple files, they upload just fine but a duplicate file is also being uploaded. The filename of the duplicate starts with ._ and the file size is only about 4kb but I have to manually delete them. Any suggestions on how to avoid generating these files?

Duplicate files ._
Hi there,
Welcome to the Box Community!
This would be something our Product Support team would like to investigate and may require specific account information. I've gone ahead and created a ticket for you so that an agent can work directly with you on looking into this.
Please check your email for details and updates.
Thanks for reaching out and let us know how else we can help!
Key Lime - The ._ files are AppleDouble files that are used to store metadata like extended attributes, ACLs, file flags, and resource forks.
I have the same problem you do, but I am on a windows computer looking at a box.com database that is full of AppleDouble files and I need a way to clean them out.
