uploadasync is always overwriting
Here is my code:
var updated = await dbx.Files.UploadAsync("/Apps/design-orders" + "/" + file.FileName, WriteMode.Add.Instance, true, body: mem);
I have tried different combinations of the mode and autorename parameters but it always overwrites the existing file. I would like it to rename if the file name already exists.

This method and write mode seems to be working properly for me, so a few questions to help figure this out:
- What version of the SDK are you using?
- Are you getting any error or output?
- Can you print out the result you're getting in "updated" (e.g., updated.PathLower)?
- Are you uploading the same content? If you upload the same file content, it won't be considered a conflict, and so won't add a new file.
- Does your app have the app folder permission? If so, you shouldn't be specifying "/Apps/{app folder name}" yourself. You should just specify "/", which will implicitly be your app folder root.
Gregory,
My files had the same name but they also had the same content. I tested files with the same name but different content and it worked. Thank you!
