Automatically rename duplicate files by adding a number next to them.
When uploading or moving files to a folder that share a name, it'd be nice for an option that just renames them all by adding a number or something instead of only asking to replace them.

Thanks for the response, my suggestion isn't to remove the pop up, but rather give a third option of auto renaming duplicate file names(usually this is done by adding a number to make it different).
As it stands you can only replace or ignore files with duplicate names. Sometimes I upload images that have the same name as ones present, but are different images. I then need to create a new temporary folder and then use my laptop later to move and rename them using its built in function in file explorer.
