[Feature request] Rename files during upload if file already exists

gweilo

Hello,

I often get emails, e.g., with monthly invoices. The attachments have always the same file name. Thus I can not upload those files on my iPhone as I can only overwritte existing files or cancel the upload completely. It would be very useful to have an option to either rename files if they already exist or to upload the files with a suffix, e.g., "file abc (2).pdf". If there is already such a feature, please let me know.

Bye

This seems (almost) completely unrelated to BoxCryptor.
Such a "versioning" feature would need to be part of the synchronization-tool being used(like DropBox).

Only if encrypted file/folder names are used in BoxCryptor,
the potential addition of a suffix by a sync-tool would need to be
recognized and supported by BoxCryptor.

This problem applies equally well to real versioning tools or backup tools with some form of versioning, when used in combination with encryption.
The main challenge there is that there are so many methods of (semi)versioning around.
If BoxCryptor would want to support these all ...

Hey. That is not what i suggested. I don't need versioning. I just want to be able to rename files before upload if the filename already exists. The files are completely different. So I either need a rename or a suffix. Right now I have to download the file on Windows, rename it and then upload it to Dropbox again. That's annoying as I hardly use desktop devices anymore. To offer only an overwrite or cancellation is just not sufficient.
