8 years agoApologies, I should have mentioned, in order to get the behavior you're looking for, you'll also need to set `autorename` in addition to using the 'add' write mode, e.g.:
When using the 'add' write mode, uploading to a path that already contains a file will create a "conflict", and the `autorename` parameter controls what happens when there's a conflict.
