Hi,

When doing a normal Upload file and a file with the same name already exists, then the new file will get a unique name suffix to prevent the old file from being overwritten. But when going through Upload from URL, this does not happen. The original file will get overwritten without any warning.

This might need a bit more thought...

Make the behavior coherent between the two upload methods
Maybe add a config option to allow switching between rename and replace?

But when going through Upload from URL, this does not happen. The original file will get overwritten without any warning. This might need a bit more thought... 1. Make the behavior **coherent** between the two upload methods 2. Maybe add a config option to allow switching between **rename** and **replace**?
