How to avoid duplicates when uploading content?

How to avoid duplicates when uploading content?

Hello, i'm struggling when i have to import folders or files from other sources. In other systems I am used to get a popup saying that the file is already existing with the same name...etc... asking for replacing or saving however with a _1.... it seems we have no the same feature in Dropbox and, as a result, when I import such kind of duplicates, i found both recorded with original and original (1).... could we make somewhere a rule to ask for this?

Dropbox has no such feature.

Need more support?
