    <title>topic WriteMode: overwrite. Autorename strategy? in Dropbox API Support &amp; Feedback</title>
    <link>https://www.dropboxforum.com/t5/Dropbox-API-Support-Feedback/WriteMode-overwrite-Autorename-strategy/m-p/219784#M11609</link>
    <description>&lt;P&gt;In the &lt;SPAN&gt;WriteMode (union) the options are &lt;STRONG&gt;&lt;CODE&gt;add&lt;/CODE&gt;&lt;/STRONG&gt;, &lt;STRONG&gt;&lt;CODE&gt;overwrite&lt;/CODE&gt;&lt;/STRONG&gt; or &lt;STRONG&gt;&lt;CODE&gt;update&lt;/CODE&gt;&lt;/STRONG&gt;.&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;If I set it to &lt;STRONG&gt;&lt;CODE&gt;overwrite&lt;/CODE&gt;&lt;/STRONG&gt;, I think there is no autorename strategy needed.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Still, the documentation says: "&lt;SPAN&gt;The autorename strategy is the same as it is for add&lt;/SPAN&gt;".&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;And the explanation for A&lt;SPAN&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;&lt;CODE&gt;add&lt;/CODE&gt;&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/SPAN&gt; is: "&lt;SPAN&gt;The autorename strategy is to append a number to the file name. For example, "document.txt" might become "document (2).txt"&lt;/SPAN&gt;"&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;How can that apply to &lt;STRONG&gt;&lt;CODE&gt;overwrite&lt;/CODE&gt;&lt;/STRONG&gt;?&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Thanks.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;

      <description>Although less common for the 'overwrite' mode, there are still some conflicts that can occur where the 'autorename' parameter will matter. For example, if you try to upload to a path where a folder (not a file) already exists, that will be considered a conflict and the folder (and its children) will not be overwritten. The 'autorename' parameter will then determine whether or not to commit the file at a different path instead.</description>
