Boxcryptor Portable issue with duplicate file names in Google Drive

andbus

I've noticed that Google Drive allows for duplicate file names in the same folder. In Boxcryptor Portable, when there are two or more files with the same name in a folder, only one is shown. This means you can access only one of the files: there others are hidden.

Hello andbus

As we are supporting multiple providers we have to stick to the common behaviour to make this possible. This means if a file is duplicate it is ignored. This is a technical restriction and we cannot change it right now.

Best regards

Thanks Boris. However, I would expect to receive a notification about a duplicate. Instead the file is overwritten with the new one so if I'm not extra careful I can overwrite data without even knowing. I hope there's an enhancement coming soon.
