What happens when a received file already exists?

Not Rated 0 votes Rate this answer

Cloudless File Transfer provides three options for handling file conflicts:

  • Overwrite -- Always replace the existing file
  • Append timestamp -- Add a customizable date/time stamp to the filename
  • Create backup -- Rename the existing file to .bak before saving the new one

You can configure your preferred option in the Options dialog.
