Duplicate photos storage help!

Gah, got into a stupid situation with digital photo storage.

Over the years, as everyone, built up a large amount of digital photos... They were backed up to an External Hard Drive, we moved house and it packed up! Thank god I had backed up to Dropbox.

I have somehow managed to get duplicate photos, a lot of of them, taking up storage on Dropbox, this is obviously costing more in storage. I have become a f/t carer since these photos starting building up, I just haven't time to go through every single one manually and the Dropbox sub is due for renewal IN August. I'd love to be able to reduce it down to save money.

Can anyone recommend a decent app for removing duplicate files please? Apple preferably. I am not awful with tech but definitely very rusty. Thank you

I think the app- CCleaner will work with Windows KimberleyClark but as far as I know, it's only Windows not Apple. Jusy wish I'd been waaaay more brutal or organised with photos years ago!
