Handle a File That Already Exists
What to choose when a file with the same name is already in the folder.
When you copy or move a file into a folder that already has a file with that name, the app asks what to do. The box shows the size and the date of both files, so you can compare them.
The Choices
- Skip leaves the file that is already there. The new file is not copied or moved.
- Keep Both copies or moves the new file and keeps the old one too.
- Replace removes the file that is already there and puts the new file in its place.
