Cannot auto rename file

Cannot auto rename file

I'm using Dropbox Java API to upload file.

 

Following is the code to uploadFile with auto rename set to true

 

void uploadFile(@NonNull final String inPath, @NonNull final InputStream inputStream) throws IOException, DbxException {
client.files()
.uploadBuilder(inPath)
.withMode(WriteMode.ADD)
.withAutorename(true)
.uploadAndFinish(inputStream);
}

  

 

However, I can see that this does auto rename a file if it exists. Any pointers?

Did you mean "this does not rename"?

 

Make sure you're uploading different content. Dropbox does not consider there to be a conflict if you upload content identical to what's already in that file, and the rename will only occur on conflict.
