Save multiple copies of files with the same name
Hi,
Does anybody know if its possible to save multiple files with the same name without overwriting them?
If I have a file 1234 in my sharepoint and want to upload a new 1234. I would like it to be saved with the same name and the only difference from the original file would be date and time.
multituctuc SharePoint automatically saves multiple versions of the same file. To view an older version you can restore them when needed. When you upload a file with the same name as an existing file, you will be prompted to rename or overwrite the existing file, which actually just adds a new version.
No, this is not possible if the files are in the same location.
Possible options:
1. store the file with the identical name in a different folder
2. make the name of the file unique by appending the date and time
3. use versioning and store the different files as document versions.
